NIC can provide your company with a short circuit study to determine the available fault current at pertinent locations throughout the distribution system.  The scope of the study includes analysis through downstream locations fed by a transformer.  Short circuit ratings of protective devices are evaluated to verify that equipment is rated to safely handle short circuit currents without creating hazardous conditions.  NIC can also provide the necessary services to make the on site corrections.

NIC services can also provide the Protective Device Coordination Analysis to determine optimal selection of fuses and protective trip settings to ensure system protection and fault clearing sensitivity.  (E.g. – to ensure the protective device at or near the equipment trips instead of the larger protective device upstream in a fault situation).
