Fault Level Studies

We assess the magnitude of fault current at key point in your network. This is to verify that equipment can safely withstand and interrupt faults, and ensures system integrity, safety and reliable operation.  

When?  

Like a Load Flow Study, a Fault Level Study should be conducted before the construction of an electrical system, before any modifications, or when new generation or demand connections are planned. 

Benefits  

This helps you to make strategic asset management decisions, such as:  

• Confirm equipment ratings and select appropriate switchgear. 

• Ensure protection settings are correctly coordinated. 

• Support safe network expansion and reinforcement planning. 

• Reduce the risk of equipment damage and unplanned outages.
