FAULT LEVEL CONTRIBUTION

SSEG Short Circuit Test
This test should determine the value of short circuit current at the SSEG terminals as described in
clause 5.7 in Engineering Recommendation G83/1-1.

For rotating machines and linear piston machines the test should produce a 0 2.0 second plot of
the short circuit current as seen at the SSEG terminals.

* Values for these parameters should be provided where the short circuit duration is sufficiently

Note: PV inverter automatically considered complying with this without test.

SELF MONITORING SOLID STATE SWITCHING

Test
It has been verified that in the event of the solid state switching device
failing to disconnect the SSEG, the voltage on the output side of the

Yes / No
N/A

switching device is reduced to a value below 50 volt within 0.5 sec.

COMMENTS
The DC injection of the PV inverter may be drifted as per ambient (working) temperature of the
equipment. The value shown above was measured at an ambient temperature of 25 and 20 min
operation. It is noted that the DC injection may be measured over 0.25% AC rated current when
the operation time is long enough or the ambient temperature is varied. If this is concerned, an
installation of a transformer on the ac side of the inverter may be required.
