Dear Colleagues,
Several standards (e.g., UL 508A, NFPA 79, SEMI S2, EN 60204-1, SEMI S22, NFPA 70) specify that industrial control panel or the equipment shall be provided with “short-circuit (current) rating”. For example: NFPA 70-2005, Article 670.3 (A) - Permanent Nameplate. The nameplate shall include the following information: (4) Short circuit current rating of the machine industrial control panel based on one of the following: a. Short circuit current rating of a listed and labeled machine control enclosure or assembly b. Short circuit current rating established utilizing an approved method. NFPA 70-2005, Article 409.110 - Marking. An industrial control panel shall be marked with the following information that is plainly visible after installation: (3) Short-circuit current rating of the industrial control panel based on one of the following: Short-circuit current rating of a listed or labeled assembly Short-circuit current rating established utilizing an approved method (FPN: UL 508A-2001, Supplement SB, is an example of an approved method). NFPA 79-2007, Section 16.4.1 - Machine Nameplate Data. A nameplate giving the following information shall be attached to the enclosure: (6) Short-circuit current rating of the control panel. UL 508A, Industrial Control Panel, First Edition, April 25, 2001 (revised through May 1, 2003) 52.1 An industrial control panel shall be provided with a nameplate that includes the following: b) Complete electrical rating of each source of supply as specified in 49.1 49.5 The input terminals in 49.1 shall have a short circuit current rating. The short circuit rating shall be based on the requirements in Supplement SB. (Effective April 25, 2006). SEMI S2-0706, Section 13.4.12 – A permanent nameplate listing the manufacturer’s name, machine serial number, supply voltage, phase frequency, short circuit current rating of the equipment or its industrial control panel and…
1 SEMI S22-0706, Section 20.4 i) – Equipment Nameplate – A permanent nameplate should be attached to the main electrical enclosure or equipment where it is plainly visible after installation. This nameplate should include the following information: i) short-circuit current rating of the equipment or its industrial control panel… IEC 60204-1 (2005), Clause 16.4 - Marking of equipment. Equipment (for example controlgear assemblies) shall be legibly and durably marked in a way that is plainly visible after the equipment is installed. A nameplate giving the following information shall be attached to the enclosure adjacent to each incoming supply: … short-circuit rating of the equipment; … These standards, however, either do not provide any guidance in terms of acceptable methodologies for determining “short- circuit (current) rating”, or simply reference UL 508A (Supplement SB). Manufacturers who attempt to use UL 508A, Supplement SB, as a means for determining short circuit current rating for their control panel or their equipment quickly discover that the method outlined in UL 508A, Supplement SB is unrealistically conservative. Specifically, utilizing UL 508A, Supplement SB, as a method for determining short circuit current rating would generally yield a short circuit current rating which would prevent the industrial control panel or the equipment to be connected to its end use environment, because most facilities (at least in the United States) would have available facilities short circuit current which far exceeds the short circuit current rating for the industrial control panel or equipment, as determined through UL 508A, Supplement SB.
UL 508A, Supplement SB is also not the ideal method for determining short circuit current rating because it requires users to consider short circuit current of all branch circuit components, many of which may not have any short circuit current rating. Supplement SB also does not specifically consider the reduction of short circuit current as a result of conductors which, in the case of an interconnecting cable between different parts of equipment, could be significant, particularly when modules of the equipment are located in separate rooms or separate floors from the equipment’s main control panel.
Another method is to conduct testing which is often destructive for the equipment and very impractical (and questionably within the scope of the standards) when determining the SCCR for the entire piece of equipment and not just a control panel.
In an effort to provide a reasonable solution to the semiconductor industry, a method for determining short circuit current rating is being presented as a Related Information to SEMI S22.
The alternate method outlined in this ballot is based, in part, on the definition of short circuit current rating in the CDV draft version of IEC 60204-33, “short-circuit rating (of the electrical equipment) - maximum input current at which the short- circuit ratings of all the overcurrent protective devices in the equipment are at least equal to the prospective fault current at their point of connection.”
This ballot consists of two line items for delayed implementation to the referenced SEMI documents. The first line item, LI1, is intended to include a means of determining short circuit current rating as part of an additional Related Information in SEMI S22. The second line item, LI2, is intended to revise the definition of short circuit current rating to better align with the definition as proposed in the draft IEC 60204-33.
LI1 – Introduce a means for determining short circuit current rating in SEMI S2, SEMI S22, and SEMI S26.
LI1, Part 1: Revise Note in Section 5.2.72 of SEMI S2 to include reference to Related Information of SEMI S22 as an alternate means for determining short circuit current rating.

LI1, Part 4: Add Related Information to SEMI S22 to include a method for determining short circuit current rating.
Revision 004, April 15th, 2008 2 LI2 – Replace the definition of short circuit current rating in both SEMI S2, SEMI S22 and SEMI S26 to align with the definition of short circuit rating in the draft IEC 60204-33.

R2.1 Introduction
R2.1.1 The method outlined below may be used to determine short circuit current rating of equipment or its industrial control panel. This method primarily involves the review of short circuit current rating or Ampacity Interrupting Current (AIC) rating of overcurrent protective devices within the equipment or its industrial control panel. It also allows for the consideration of current drop across a fixed length of conductor within the equipment or its industrial control panel. Lastly, this method allows the user to calculate a short circuit current available on the secondary side of a transformer.
R2.1.2 To facilitate the determination of the short circuit current rating within the equipment or its industrial control panel, the following information should be gathered:
R2.1.2.1 Whether the short circuit current rating will be applied to the equipment or only its industrial control panel.
R2.1.2.2 The short circuit current rating or AIC rating of all overcurrent protective devices within the equipment or its industrial control panel.
NOTE 1: For the purpose of this method, overcurrent protective device is limited to circuit breakers, branch circuit fuses, and supplementary protective devices (e.g., circuit protectors, supplementary fuses).
R2.1.2.3 The length and size of the conductors for the equipment or its industrial control panel.
R2.1.2.4 Primary and secondary voltage, VA rating, and impedance value of all transformers within the equipment or its industrial control panel.
R2.1.3 Certain assumptions have to be made in order to simplify the short circuit current rating method:
R2.1.3.1 For 3 phase equipment, the method outlined in this Related Information assumes 3 phase fault.
R2.1.3.2 For 3 phase transformers, the method outlined in this Related Information assumes a Y-system with center ground.
R2.1.3.3 For transformers that do not have any Z% impedance rating, the method outlined in this Related Information assumes 3% Z for isolation transformer and 1% Z for autotransformer.
R2.2 Method for Determining Short Circuit Current Rating within the Equipment or its Industrial Control Panel:
R2.2.1 The following steps outline the method for determining short circuit current rating within the equipment or its industrial control panel:
R2.2.1.1 First decide whether the short circuit current rating will be applied to the equipment or only its industrial control panel.
NOTE 2: NFPA 79-2007, UL 508A, National Electrical Code Article 670, SEMI S2 and SEMI S22 require or permit the short circuit current rating to be limited to just the equipment’s industrial control panel. It is, therefore, the equipment supplier’s prerogative to limit the short circuit current rating to the equipment’s industrial control panel.
R2.2.1.2 Identify the short circuit current rating or the AIC rating of the equipment’s main overcurrent protective device and use this value as the initial short circuit current rating for the equipment or its industrial control panel. This short circuit current rating is referred to in this document as “SCCRequipment/panel”.
9 NOTE 3: This “initial” short circuit current rating (“SCCRequipment/panel”) may need to be reduced to ensure that the available short circuit current at each of the downstream overcurrent protective devices within the equipment or its industrial control panel does not exceed the short circuit current rating or AIC rating of each of the overcurrent protective device in question.
R2.2.1.3 With the “SCCRequipment/panel” from the step outline in Section R2-2.1.2 as a starting point, use point-to-point short circuit current calculation method (such as the example in Section R2-3) to determine the available short circuit current (“SCCRavailable”) at the end of the length of conductor(s) terminating at the next downstream overcurrent protective device.
NOTE 4: If the length of conductor between two overcurrent protective devices does not yield a significant reduction in available short circuit current at the point of connection to the downstream overcurrent protective device, it may be simpler to disregard the conductor between overcurrent protective devices and assume that all of the available short circuit current (SCCRavailable) identified for the upstream overcurrent protective device is available at the next downstream overcurrent protective device(s).
R2.2.1.4 Compare the available short circuit current (SCCRavailable) at each of the overcurrent protective device against the short circuit current rating or AIC rating of the overcurrent protective device at that point. If the available short circuit current (SCCRavailable) exceeds the short circuit current rating or AIC rating of the overcurrent protective device at that point, return to the step outlined in Section R2-2.1.2 and reduce the value of the “SCCRequipment/panel” until the SCCRavailable no longer exceeds the short circuit current rating or AIC rating of the overcurrent protective device at that point.
R2.2.1.5 If a transformer is connected between two overcurrent protective devices, the point-to-point short circuit current method (such as the example in Section R2-3) may be used to determine the short circuit current rating at the secondary of the transformer. Once the short circuit current rating for the output of the transformer has been determined, continue downstream to the next overcurrent protective device and identify the short circuit current or AIC rating of that overcurrent protective device.
NOTE 5: For the purpose of this short circuit current method, if impedance (%Z) is not provided on the transformer’s nameplate or specification sheet, assume 3% Z for isolation transformers and 1% Z for autotransformers.
R2.2.1.6 Continue downstream for each overcurrent protective device within the equipment or its industrial control panel, comparing the available short circuit current (SCCRavailable) against the short circuit current rating or AIC rating at each overcurent protective device as outlined in Section R2-2.1.4), until the circuit terminates at a load (e.g., heater, motor, lamps, convenience receptacle).
R2.2.1.7 Repeat steps outlined in Sections R2-2.1.3 through R2-2.1.6 for all circuits within the equipment or its industrial control panel.
R2.2.1.8 The final short circuit current rating for the equipment or its industrial control panel is the lowest SCCRequipment/panel value necessary to ensure that the SCCR available does not exceed any of the overcurrent protective devices within the equipment or industrial control panel.
R2.3 Example of point-to-point short circuit current method:
R2.3.1 The following point-to-point short circuit current method for conductors and transformers is reprinted from http://www.bussmann.com/library/docs/EPR_Booklet.pdf with permission from Cooper Bussmann.
NOTE 6: Point-to-point short circuit current calculators (or software) for conductors and transformers may be commercially available and may be considered suitable for use to minimize manual calculations if the results from the calculator or software yield results similar to those of the approach outlined in § R2-3.
