Clause
1 List of symbols
2 Permissible short-circuit current
3 Calculation of adiabatic short-circuit current
4 Calculation of short-circuit temperature
5 Calculation of non-adiabatic factor for conductors
   and spaced wire screens
6 Calculation of non-adiabatic factor for sheaths,
   screens and wires
FIGURE
APPENDIX A - Explanation of recommended methods for
             taking into account non-adiabatic heating
             effect when calculating permissible
             short-circuit currents

The approach set out in this standard is to: a) calculate the adiabatic short-circuit current, b) calculate a modifying factor that takes account of the non-adiabatic heating effect, c) multiply a) and b) to obtain permissible short-circuit current.
