Introduction
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
Appendix A - Explanation of recommended
             methods for taking into account
             non-adiabatic heating effect when
             calculating permissible short-circuit
             currents

Provides a simple method for incorporating the non-adiabatic heating effect when calculating short-circuit ratings so that the same short-circuit ratings are obtained by different designers.
