Calculator

Fault currents at every bus

Not a single-point calculator. ekx calculates fault currents at every bus in your system simultaneously — and updates them as you change the model.

What you get

Every bus, every fault type

Three-phase and line-to-ground fault currents calculated at every bus in your model.

Momentary & interrupting

Both momentary (first-cycle) and interrupting duty values for proper device evaluation.

ANSI/IEC methods

Industry-standard fault current calculation methodology.

Device duty checks

Automatic comparison of fault currents against device interrupting ratings.

System-wide view

See how fault currents propagate through your entire system, not just at one point.

Instant recalculation

Add a source, change an impedance — fault currents update everywhere immediately.

Fault current analysis built into the model

Standalone calculators give you one bus at a time. ekx gives you every bus in the system, updated live, with automatic device duty checks.

  • Fault currents appear at every bus the moment you have a source
  • Device duty checks run automatically against calculated values
  • Change any impedance and see the system-wide impact instantly
  • Export results in a professional study report format

Free tier includes 1 project with up to 2 buses. Paid plans start at $27/month for consultants and $149/month for unlimited access.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a single-bus calculator?

No. ekx calculates fault currents at every bus in your system simultaneously. It's a full short circuit study, not a single-point calculation.

What fault current values are provided?

Three-phase and single line-to-ground fault currents, with momentary (first-cycle), interrupting, and symmetrical (steady-state) values at each bus.

Does it check device ratings?

Yes. Calculated fault currents are automatically compared against device interrupting ratings. Devices that are underrated are flagged.

What calculation method is used?

ANSI/IEEE methodology for fault current calculations, consistent with industry practice.

Calculate fault currents across your entire system.

Every bus, every fault type. Automatic duty checks included.
