Help please for college work

[davedwr1978]

Hi

i was wondering if someone could help me please, I have an assignment to do for college and am stuck on the question

give a method of confirming the integrity of the live conductor in a circuit under short circuit conditions.

its the way it's written I just can't get my head around it, I thought it may be by using the correct circuit breaker for the cable by checking the current carrying capacity of the cable, not sure see

I would assume they are looking for you to quote the adiabatic equation and explain what it's for.

Good luck!

what you need to do is to confirm that the conductor will withstand s/c current, for the duration of such, without thermal damage. now tell us what you think.

I would advise gaining access to the trainee section on here mate. Lots of help available in there.

What do we do before energising a circuit?
