6.2.2. Standardised characteristics <strong>of</strong> <strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong><br />

<strong>currents</strong> and electromagnetic forces<br />

As shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 6.7, the variety <strong>of</strong> <strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong><br />

current characteristics <strong>in</strong> d.c. systems [Ref 60, Ref 63,<br />

Ref 66, Ref 67, Ref 68, Ref 69, Ref 70, Ref 71, Ref<br />

72, Ref 73, Ref 74, Ref 75] may be approximated by<br />

an exponential rise to the peak <strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong> current i p<br />

and thereafter an exponential drop to the steady-state<br />

<strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong> current I k.<br />

characteristic i(t) and for the electromagnetic<br />

force per unit length F'(t). Variables ts1, ξs2 and ts will<br />

be required <strong>in</strong> section 6.3.2.
