Hi Brian,

UL 508A Supplement SB has a method for this. Also the 
www.semi.org<http://www.semi.org> standard SEMI S22 has a method in one of it’s 
‘Related Information’ sections. The SEMI standard RI section includes a reprint 
of an SCCR  guide from Bussmann. The link S22 provides no longer works (it 
looks like bussmann was acquired by Cooper was acquired by Eaton since then), 
but it looks like Eaton has some useful guidance in a big guide they have for 
electrical protection in general (probably with a generous dose of Eaton 
products) at 
http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/dam/public/bussmann/Electrical/Resources/technical-literature/bus-ele-an-3002-spd.pdf

Best Regards,
-Lauren

Subject: [PSES] Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR)

Greetings to all. I hope this finds you well.

Once again the subject of SCCR has come up.  I have struggled for years to find 
a document or someone who can explain this to me.  The bottom line is I need to 
know how I would determine the SCCR for my product.  In one case in particular 
I am currently working on, it is a 3 phase motor-driven industrial device. It 
draws less than 8 amps at 230V. Internal to the device, we have three "CC" type 
fuses with a SCCR of 200KA.  However, ahead of that we have a lockout/tagout 
disconnect device that is only rated 10KA SCCR.

How exactly can I determine the SCCR of my device?

Thank you all.

The Other Brian
