Table 7: Calculation Checks

Protective device rating (In = 80,0 A) is Less Than or Equal To the effective
circuit current-carrying capacity (Iz = 90,0 A).
Effective circuit current-carrying capacity (Iz = 90 A) is Greater Than or
Equal To the design load current (Ib = 10 A).
Protective device rating (In = 80,0 A) is Greater Than or Equal To the
design load current (Ib = 10,0 A).
Actual voltage drop (0,42 %) is Less Than or Equal To the permissible
voltage drop as specified by the user (2,50 %).
Actual earth loop impedance (Zs = 0,125 Ohms) is Less Than or Equal To
the device earth loop impedance (0,273 Ohms).
Short-circuit performance of active conductors (Smin = 1,5 mm2) is
Adequate.
Short-circuit performance of protective conductors (Smin = 2,9 mm2) is
Adequate.
