Prospective short circuit current at UK Power Networks' supply terminals is not expected to exceed the values shown above.

Please remember that the values shown, are under normal conditions considered to be maximum for UK Power Networks' network. However, while they are given in good faith, I am sorry that UK Power Networks cannot guarantee the values quoted will continue for all time.

Prospective Short Circuit Current (PSCC) for HV and EHV Points of Supply

The prospective short circuit current at UK Power Networks' supply terminals is not expected to exceed acceptable values based upon the specific supply arrangements and location of the connections. If you require a site specific value, please contact your Project Designer or Project Manager who will arrange for a detailed study to be carried out. This service is chargeable.
