The operating equipment of the network must be designed to withstand short-circuits. Until now, this required extensive manual short-circuit calculations for the entire network area, considering the clearing times of the network protection.

The new module Thermal Destruction Analysis enables both the network planning and the protection department to perform an automated check for thermal destruction for all lines, transformers, busbars and breakers in the network.

As a result, the user receives a clear representation of all the checked equipment with simulation results showing thermally destroyed elements. A detailed analysis in the network is directly accessible from the results view. Based on the results, measures regarding network protection or network reinforcement can be derived and their effectiveness can be checked by the Thermal Destruction Analysis.
