Subpart 111.51--Calculation of Short-Circuit Currents and
Coordination of Overcurrent Protective Devices

Sec.  111.51-1  General.

    Electrical installations must be protected against short circuits,
by appropriate devices. The selection, arrangement and performance of
various protective devices must provide coordinated automatic
protection and selective operation in order to provide continuity of
service for equipment vital to the propulsion, control, or safety of
the vessel under short-circuit conditions through coordination and
selective operation of overcurrent protective devices.

Sec.  111.51-2  Short-circuit calculations.

    (a) The available short-circuit current must be computed--
    (1) From the aggregate contribution of all generators that can
simultaneously operate in parallel;
    (2) From the largest probable motor load; and
    (3) With a three-phase fault on the load terminals of the
protective device.
    (b) The calculated currents must be used to select suitably rated
equipment and to allow the selection and setting of protective devices.

Sec.  111.51-3  Short-circuit calculations for systems below 1500
kilowatts.

    The following short-circuit assumptions must be made for a system
with an aggregate generating capacity below 1500 kilowatts, unless
detailed computations in accordance with Sec.  111.51-4 are submitted:
    (a) The maximum short-circuit current of a direct current system
must be assumed to be 10 times the aggregate normal rated generator
currents plus 6 times the aggregate normal rated currents of all motors
that may be in operation.
    (b) The maximum asymmetrical short-circuit current for an
alternating current system must be assumed to be 10 times the aggregate
normal rated generator currents plus 4 times the aggregate normal rated
currents of all motors that may be in operation.
    (c) The average asymmetrical short circuit current for an
alternating-current system must be assumed to be 8\1/2\ times the
aggregate normal rated generator currents plus 3\1/2\ times the
aggregate normal rated currents of all motors that may be in operation.

Sec.  111.51-4  Short-circuit calculations for systems 1500 kilowatts
or above.

    Short-circuit calculations must be submitted for systems with an
aggregate generating capacity of 1500 kilowatts or more by utilizing
one of the following methods:
    (a) Exact calculations using actual impedance and reactance values
of system components.
    (b) Estimated calculations using IEC 61363-1:1998 for AC systems
and IEC 61660-1:1997 for DC systems (both incorporated by reference;
see Sec.  110.10-1 of this subchapter).
    (c) The estimated calculations using a commercially established
analysis procedure for utility or industrial applications.

Sec.  111.51-5  Protection of vital equipment.

    (a) The coordination of overcurrent protective devices must be
demonstrated for all potential plant configurations.
    (b) Protective relays and overcurrent protective devices must be
installed so that:
    (1) A short-circuit on a circuit that is not vital to the
propulsion, control, or safety of the vessel does not trip equipment
that is vital; and
    (2) A short-circuit on a circuit that is vital to the propulsion,
control, or safety of the vessel is cleared only by the protective
device that is closest to the point of the short-circuit.

supplying power to the vessels, provided the following:
    (a) The fuel oil tank for the emergency generator prime mover must
be appropriately sized and provided with a level alarm, which is to be
set to alarm at a level where there is sufficient fuel oil capacity for
the emergency services for the period of time required by Sec.  112.05-

continuous service.
    (c) The prime mover is to be fitted with alarms, displays and

operation of the main and emergency services.
    (f) Means are to be provided to readily change over to emergency
operation.
    (g) The generator is to be safeguarded against overload by
automatically shedding such other loads so that the supply to the
required emergency loads is always available.

generator room. Planned maintenance is to be carried out only while in
