STANDARD METHODS OF CALCULATION
There are several ways to calculate the short circuit current for a marine electrical
system, some very simple as the example in PART 4 Chapter 7, others more complex
are listed in the table below. The complexity of the calculation is not always an indi-
cation as to the efficacy of the result.
