Ascc

How does a tester evaluate ASCC, (Available Short Circuit Current)?
......gar?????

I think it calculates the impedance of the supply based on a very short high current load and uses that to figure the available short circuit current.

Is there such a product?
Any examples?
It would have to be able to handle quite a bit of current.

Ron,
This manufacturer says his device does this, but it is only for 15 and 20 amp, 120 volt circuits.

,.....but hey, it's just a glorified receptacle tester, mind you

Are you looking for the avaliable fault current or short circuit current?

I was wondering how a tester could/would calculate it. I'm not looking for this for any kind of job. I was referring to short-circuit current.

Thanks for replying SEO.
