Fault Current Calculation

The document outlines the fault current calculation for a transformer system using the Base KVA method. It details the base KVA and KV for various components, the fault current at the HT side of the transformer, and the total fault current. Additionally, it provides information on transformer ratings, impedances, and fault levels at different locations in the system.
