1 Executive Summary

This report details the short circuit fault level calculations for the MV and LV

switchboards to be installed at Telecity’s new data centre AMS06 located in

Amsterdam.

The fault ratings of the switchboards are as follows:

Medium voltage switchgear: 20kA (rated short time withstand)

Low voltage switchgear: 50kA (rated short time withstand)

1.1 MV Systems

The Liander network maximum fault levels have been provided. As there are no

MV generators associated with the system the maximum fault level expected on

the MV switchboards is solely based upon the Liander network characteristics.

Operating Scenario Anticipated Fault Level Result

10kV Supply 8.75kA PASS

20kV Supply 10.47kA PASS

As demonstrated in the table above the maximum anticipated fault levels for the

network are lower than the rated withstand of the switchboards. Therefore the MV

switchboards are sufficiently rated.

Note: The fault levels in the table above have been provided by Liander. The

values in the ERACS model in section 6 are slightly higher (representing a more

stringent requirement). However the MV switchboards are adequately rated for

both conditions.

3 Network Overview

The following diagram at high level details the electrical network for the MV and

LV infrastructure of AMS06.

Following handover in 2015 the data centre will be supplied from the local

Liander network at 10kV. Due to the demand load growth in Amsterdam it is

expected that the network will be upgraded to 20kV once the data centre load

reaches 10MVA. Therefore as part of this calculation the following operating

scenarios have been modelled to determine the short-circuit fault current for

various system conditions including:

1. Fault current from a single transformer

a) 10kV Liander network voltage

b) 20kV Liander network voltage

2. Fault current from a single generator

3. Fault current from a transformer and generator operating in parallel

a) 10kV Liander network voltage

b) 20kV Liander network voltage

4 Utility Information

The following fault level data for both the 10kV and 20kV networks serving

AMS06 has been received from Liander on 7th April 2015.

Aansluiting 10 kV 20 kV

Minimale kortsluitstroom 7,82 kA 9,39 kA

Minimale kortsluitvermogen 142,2 MVA 341,7 MVA

Maximale kortsluitstroom 8,75 kA 10,47 kA

Maximaal kortsluitvermogen 159,0 MVA 380,9 MVA

5 Calculation Process

The fault levels have been calculated using ERACS. ERACS is a globally

recognised power system program. Arup subscribe to a yearly maintenance fee

thereby ensuring that the software is always up to date. For information on this

software refer to the appendices for the ERACS brochure. It should be noted that

it is not possible in Amtech to parallel multiple sources onto the same

switchboard. Also Amtech does not calculate ‘Making’ and ‘Breaking’ duties of

the circuit breakers, which is critical for sources operating in parallel. One of the

intended operating scenarios for AMS06 is for the transformer and generator to be

paralleled. Therefore to calculate the fault levels in this scenarios the alternative

ERACS software has been used to determine the maximum anticipated fault

levels at the AMS06 switchboards.

The generator contribution to fault levels has been modelled in ERACS but

figures taken directly from the generator test sheets and stator current decrement

curves have also been used. In order to calculate the fault current contribution

from a generator during an asymmetrical fault, the ERACS model has been used

in conjunction with information we have received directly from Leroy Somer. To

confirm these results, the multiplier factor between asymmetrical and symmetrical

faults has also been taken from other alternator stator current decrement curves to

provide an estimate of the asymmetric fault current.

5.1 Input data

The information in the following sections detail the data inputted into the ERACS

model in order to simulate the AMS06 network.

5.1.1 Liander Network Data

The following screenshots taken from the ERACS model indicate the Liander data

inputted to the model. As there are the two different network operating voltages

two separate input data files have been created to simulate the Liander network.

5.3 Transformer

The technical data sheet of the transformer, which is included as part of the

technical submittal, to be installed at AMS06 is included in the appendices. The

following images are screenshots taken from the ERACS model indicating the

data inputted to the model.

Note, that to accommodate the future upgrade of the Liander network from 10kV

to 20kV the transformers to be installed have two primary winding settings to

allow for the transformer primary voltage to be altered at the time of the upgrade.

Therefore two different input data files have been created for the transformers.

One for 10kV primary winding voltage, the other for the 20kV primary winding

voltage.

It should also be noted that the transformer technical data sheet and requirements

is for transformers with an 11% impedance. The transformer has been modelled in

accordance with IEC 60076-1 which states that the tolerance range of a

transformer this size is ±7.5% from the specified value. For the purpose of these

calculations, a 10.175% impedance has been modelled. This will give the worst

case anticipated fault levels.

6\TELECITY - AMS06 - FAULT LEVEL REPORT REV 6.DOCX

Page 8

Note that the impedance is determined by the following equation:

𝑍 = √𝑋2 + 𝑅2

Z is the impedance for one winding which is 10.175/2 = 5.0875%

R is the sequence resistance, taken from the data sheet as 0.3%.

Rearranging the formula to find the sequence reactance gives:

𝑋 = √𝑍2 − 𝑅2

𝑋 = √5.08752 − 0.32

𝑋 = 5.079%

Substituting these values back in to check Z gives:

𝑍 = √5.0792 + 0.32 = 5.089%

5.089 × 2 ≈ 10.175%

Note this formula applies to the input data used in sections 5.3.1.2 and 5.3.1.3

below.

5.3.2 Generator

The technical datasheets for the generators to be installed at AMS06 are included

in the appendices.

Following initial comments on revision 1 of this report regarding the generator

contribution to the maximum sustained short circuit, the first third of the first page

of the Leroy Somer test sheets for one of the alternators was provided. This was

included in the comments received.

The section of test sheet provided indicated that the short circuit multiplier was

4.73. This was inconsistent with the corresponding datasheet for the Leroy Somer

LSA 53.1 alternator.

Following subsequent discussions with Zwart the generator supplier and Emerson

/ Leroy Somer the alternator supplier with regards to the figures provided in the

test sheet it has been determined that this is the incorrect value upon which to base

the generator maximum short circuit current.

Arup have subsequently obtained the full test sheet from Emerson / Leroy Somer

on 24 April 2015. The following images show the FAT test reports for each of the

generator alternator.

It can be seen that the fault current is not calculated using the 4.73 or 4.29

multiplier as this is the value used without considering the AVR limitation.

Taking into account the AVRs that are to be used with these generators, the

sustained short circuit current is calculated using 3.1 or 3.17 multiplied by Irated.

The test sheets from Leroy Somer indicate that the maximum worst case sustained

short circuit current from one of the generators is 14.03kA.

This is detailed as shown on the two following test sheets.

5.3.3 MV Cabling

The technical datasheets for the MV cabling to be installed at AMS06 are

included in the appendices.

The table below show the cables that have been modelled in ERACS.

Cable reference Type Length

HV-CBL-KB/02 22kV 240mm2 Aluminium Single Core 45m

HV-CBL-C/001 22kV 150mm2 Aluminium Single Core 15m

The cables in the table above have been selected for the model as they represent

the shortest path from the Klantstation switchboard to the Power Block MV

switchboards. As these are the shortest cables, they which will have the lowest

impedance and therefore represent the highest fault current.

5.3.3.1 Ring MV Cable

The MV cable forming the ring for the facility from the customer MV switchgear

to the power block MV switchgear has an aluminium core in order to meet the

specification.

The following images is are screenshots taken from the ERACS model indicating

6 MV Switchboards

6.1 MV Switchboards

The Liander network maximum fault levels have been provided. As there are no

MV generators associated with the system the maximum fault level expected on

the MV switchboards is solely based upon the Liander network characteristics.

For the 10kV network the maximum fault level is 8.75kA

For the 20kV network the maximum fault level is 10.47kA

Therefore the maximum fault level is below the 20kA rating of the MV

switchboards.

The following screenshots taken from ERACS illustrate the calculated fault levels

for both network scenarios.

As can be seen in the images above, the fault current at the Klantstation

switchboards and the Power Block MV switchboards is 9.18kA and 9.09kA

respectively. As both of these switchboards are rated to 20kA, they are sufficient

for the maximum fault level on the 10kV supply.

On the 20kV supply, the fault current at the Klantstation switchboard will be

Both of these switchboards are rated to 20kA and are therefore sufficiently rated

7.1 10kV Network Transformer Supply

The image below indicates that the maximum anticipated sustained short circuit

fault level on the LV switchboard when supplied by the 10kV Liander network.

This shows that the sustained fault current from 1 transformer is shown to be

26.3kA rms. This is below the short time withstand 50kA rms rating of the

switchgear so the switchboards are sufficiently rated for a single 10kV

transformer supply.

7.3 Generator Supply

This section details the results of calculations for when the generator is solely

supporting the site. The generator is modelled as 3.065MVA with the data as

detailed in section 5.3.2.

7.3.1 Symmetrical 3-Phase Sustained Fault

The model above show the sustained short circuit current as being 14.7 kA rms.

This sustained short-circuit current of 14.7kA rms is below the 50kA rms rating of

the switchboard and the sub-transient short circuit peak current is below the

105kA peak rating of the switchboard, therefore the switchboard is correctly rated

for the operation of a single generator.

Note that this is in fact a higher sustained short circuit current compared to the

Leroy Somer data of 14.03kA as it is not possible to model the AVR associated

with the generator.

The operation of a transformer and generator in parallel was modelled under the

Symmetrical 3-Phase Sustained Fault

Symmetrical 3-Phase Sub-Transient Fault

Symmetrical Single Phase Sub-Transient Fault

Asymmetrical Single Phase Sub-Transient Fault

7.4.1 Symmetrical 3-Phase Sustained Fault

The sustained short-circuit current of 41kA rms is below the 50kA rating of the

switchboard and in practice the fault current will be less than this as the generator

fault current is limited by the AVR to 14kA.

7.4.3 Symmetrical Single Phase to Earth Sustained Fault

Current

The single phase to earth, sustained short circuit current is 54.9kA rms. This is

above the 1s sustained rating of the switchboard but this is an acceptable value

providing that the I2t value is maintained.

(50kA)2 x 1 = (54.9kA)2 x t

t = 0.83s

Providing the fault is disconnected in less than 0.83s then the sustained short

circuit current of 54.9kA rms is acceptable. The circuit breaker operation time will

be confirmed in the discrimination study.

7.4.4 Asymmetrical Single Phase to Earth Sub-Transient

Fault

For the asymmetrical fault calculation the making and breaking duties of the

circuit breakers have been analysed. The information below shows the making

and breaking times for the Siemens 1000A, 1250A and 4000A circuit breakers

that are being used.

7.4.4.1 Making Duty and Peak Switchboard Rating

The graph above shows a single phase to earth asymmetrical fault. The peak

current at 10ms is 129kA. In order to confirm the response of the generator, the

peak asymmetric fault current at 10ms was obtained in an email from Niek van

Hoecke of Leroy Somer (dated 06/05/15) which stated that the peak current from

the generator was 71.6kA peak.

The contribution from the transformer only is shown in the screenshot below.

Page 37

The peak single phase to earth fault current at 10ms for the transformer is 63.5kA

peak. Adding this value of 63.5kA to the 71.6kA obtained from Leroy-Somer

gives a peak value of 135.1 kA.

Therefore the peak rating of the switchboard and the required making duty of

circuit breakers is at least 135.1kA. This means the peak rating of the switchboard

at 105kA and the 121kA circuit breaker making duty is inadequate.

Options to mitigate the impacts of these results it discussed in section 9.

7.4.4.2 Breaking Duty

The figure above shows that at 50ms, the breaking duty required is 55.9kA rms.

A figure for the rms asymmetric current from the generator at 50ms could not be

obtained from Leroy-Somer so the above value could not be directly cross

checked. Using other stator decrement curves, it can be seen that by 50ms the DC

offset has decayed to near 0. This means that the single phase asymmetrical fault

should be similar to the single phase symmetrical fault current.

At 50ms the symmetrical current is 6.3 x 4424 = 27.8kA rms.

The rms contribution of the transformer at 50ms during an asymmetrical fault is

given below.

Summing the rms asymmetrical fault current from the transformer of 29.7kA with

the 27.8kA calculated for the generator gives a required break capacity of 57.5kA

rms.

As this figure is higher, a minimum breaking capacity of the circuit breakers of

57.5kA rms is recommended for the 10kV supply.

Fault

For the asymmetrical fault calculation a single phase to earth fault has been

breakers and the peak rating of the switchboard. Refer to section 6.4.3 for the

information relating to the making and breaking times for the Siemens 1000A,

1250A and 4000A circuit breakers.

The graph above shows a single phase to earth asymmetrical fault. The peak

current at 10ms is 133kA. In order to confirm these results the peak asymmetric

fault current from the generator at 10ms of 71.6kA (as discussed in section

7.4.4.1) can be used.

Page 43

The contribution from the transformer only at 20kV is shown in the screenshot

below.

The peak single phase to earth fault current at 10ms for the transformer is 66.7kA

peak. Adding this value of 66.7kA to the 71.6kA obtained from Leroy-Somer

gives a peak value of 138.3kA.

Therefore the peak rating of the switchboard and the required making duty of

circuit breakers is at least 140kA. This means the peak rating of the switchboard

at 105kA and the 121kA circuit breaker making duty is inadequate.

Options to mitigate the impacts of these results are discussed in section 9.

7.5.4.2 Breaking Duty

The figure above shows that at 50ms, the breaking duty required is 57.8kA rms.

As figure for the rms asymmetric current from the generator at 50ms could not be

obtained from Leroy-Somer in order to cross check the above value, a figure of

27.8kA rms can be taken from the symmetrical fault stator current decrement

curves. See section 7.4.4.2 for further information on this.

The rms contribution of the transformer at 50ms during an asymmetrical fault on

the 20kV supply is given below.

Summing the rms asymmetrical fault current from the transformer of 31.4kA with

the 27.8kA calculated for the generator gives a required break capacity of 59.2kA.

As this figure is higher, a minimum breaking capacity of the circuit breakers of

60kA is recommended.

9 Conclusion

This report has demonstrated that the switchboard and circuit breakers are

adequately rated for operating on either a single transformer or a single generator.

However, in the scenario where the transformer and generator are operated in

parallel the switchboard and circuit breakers are not rated adequately with regards

to the peak fault level. Paralleling the sources also exceeds the maximum making

duties of the 1000A and 1250A circuit breakers.

As part of this fault level study data has been provided by the generator and

alternator supplier Leroy Somer with regards to the peak asymmetric fault level.

They were however unable to provide the asymmetric decrement curve for the

alternator as this information is no longer standard issue and as such cannot be

obtained. Therefore the worst case figures of 71kA has been used as the

asymmetric fault peak anticipated.

It is therefore recommended that the operation mode where the transformer /

mains supply runs in parallel with the generator is excluded. During this parallel

operating mode the peak fault levels may exceed the switchboard and circuit

breaker ratings. During this operating mode the peak fault levels may exceed the

switchboard rating. This solution will match the recommendations for AMS05

and the current operating procedure for that existing facility.

It is therefore recommended that interlocks are provided on the switchboard

between the transformer, generator and switchboard buscoupler is provided to

ensure that only 2 out of 3 circuit breakers are closed at any one time to prevent

paralleling between the transformer and generator.

ERACS - Electrical Power Systems Analysis SoftwareInnovation in Power Systems Analysis Software Technology

The economic design of power systems is

critically dependent on being able to predict

the system behaviour under both normal

and abnormal operating conditions. Hand

calculations and estimates are possible but

increasingly expensive in engineers’ time and

run the risk of introducing errors resulting in

significant safety and reliability implications.

ERACS is Cobham Technical Services’ suite

of power systems analysis software. It allows

users to simulate electrical power system

networks quickly and easily to judge their

correct, safe and timely operation.

ERACS software is at the forefront of

development taking account of both the

continuing pressure for ever easier operational

software and the increasing technical needs

of modern engineering.

The name ERACS is synonymous with quality,

reliability, accuracy, ease of operation and

adaptability to changing market needs.

Benefits

Using ERACS to conduct power system

analysis, clients are able to:

save costs

reduce risk

improve system quality

increase reliability and safety.

System

ERACS software is PC-based, fully integrated

and has an easy to use interface. The data

is entered once only in a central database,

making data management a very simple

procedure. Networks for simulation by ERACS

may be either radial or fully interconnected

systems or a mixture of both (HV to LV).

Quality

ERACS is developed under ERA Technology

Ltd’s ISO 9001 and TickIT certified quality

system.

Why ERACS?

The ERACS suite of power systems analysis

software is in constant use by experienced

Cobham power engineers for system study

purposes. They have direct input into the

program development to incorporate best

practices currently in use within the electrical

industry. ERACS’ diverse user base (including

offshore, marine, mining, utilities, transport

and academia) is encouraged to contribute

to the development and direction of the

programs. In this way the ERACS programs

are constantly moving forward, providing real

benefits in terms of reduced study times and

improved technical capability to users, and

meeting the specific needs of engineers with

practical problems to solve.

The provision of a dedicated ERACS user

website and support hotline further benefits

its user base. Staffed by electrical/software

engineers with a great depth of understanding

of the latest programming techniques and

tools, they also have direct access to Cobham’s

own leading power systems engineers for

Protection Co-ordination

technical support. The ERACS support team

prides itself on its fast response time to

technical queries from its software users.

The ERACS Loadflow program models

radial and mesh/interconnected AC three

phase LV to HV systems with multiple

generation sources. Loadflow calculates:

system losses, power/VAr/current flows

(on screen arrows indicate direction),

transformer tap settings, equipment

loading and voltage profiles (plus many

more). As with all ERACS programs,

results can be selected and displayed on

the single line diagram or saved to printed

output and may be exported to other

applications for the generation of user

customised reports.

The ERACS Fault programs (Classical &

IEC909) allow all classical fault types to

be applied to system elements with an

additional survey option to automate

this process.

The ERACS Harmonic Injection program

allows multiple harmonic sources to be

connected to the system and their effect

calculated. Results include total harmonic

voltage and current distortion and their

individual harmonic components in both

graphical and numerical formats.

The ERACS Harmonic Impedance program

calculates the harmonic impedance

profiles between selected system busbars,

indicating possible system resonance.

The ERACS Harmonic G5/4 program allows

the connection of non-linear equipment

to be assessed against the planning levels

specified in ER G5/4.

The ERACS Protection Co-ordination

program is four programs in one and

includes:

Protection Device Setting: Relays, fuses

and circuit breakers are added from the

ERACS data library to the single line diagram.

Settings and discrimination times are then

graphically selected.

Protection Stability Checking: Having selected

the desired settings the protection program

checks that no devices operate under steady

state loadflow conditions or as a result of

network reconfiguration.

Protection Dynamic studies: Any one of the

classical fault conditions can be applied to

any part of the network to evaluate the

dynamic operation of the protection scheme.

ERACS steps through stage by stage to

confirm (or not) that the location of the

fault can be isolated in an acceptable manner.

Protection Analyser: This single operation

allows every element in the network to be

faulted individually and the corresponding

protection scheme reactions logged. User

friendly graphical reporting allows weaknesses

and failures in the total protection scheme to

be quickly identified. All backed up by a large

library of equipment and manufacture’s data

The ERACS Arc Flash Hazard Assessment

program examines the electrical network

to determine the severity of arc flash

hazards and recommends appropriate

PPE to IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E. Warning

labels can also be generated (and

customised) from the tabulated results.

The ERACS Transient Stability program

allows dynamic system behaviour to

be studied (e.g. motor starting, fault

application, load application, load rejection

and generator behaviour). A timeline of

multiple events is selected with the result

shown graphically and on the single

line diagram.

The ERACS Universal Dynamic Modeller

(UDM) allows AVR, Governor and controlled

shunt models (DFIG’s, PFC’s , SVC’s, saturable

reactors etc) to be built and configured

for use within Loadflow or Transient

Stability studies.

Cobham Technical Services also supply

GroundRod substation earthing software,

standalone Arc Flash Hazard calculator and

state-of-the-art 2D and 3D electromagnetic

design, modelling, analysis and simulation

software (Vector Fields Concerto & Opera).
