To calculate this
safety factor
you must first know the parameter called
short-circuit ratio R
SC
,
at the connection point of the PCL transducers (not on the installation input). The short-circuit
ratio is defined as the ratio between the short-circuit current of a main (
I
SC
) and the nominal
current of the set of non-linear transducers (
I
CNL
) producing the harmonics to be filtered.

Equation 6:Calculating the short-circuit ratio R
SC
�
In a real installation, the short-circuit current (
I
SC
) in the PCL can be assessed by having the
voltage at the said point for two different load currents.
For example, full load,
I
A
and 10% load,
I
B
. If
V
OC
is the rated voltage at no-load, the
I
SC
, can be
calculated using the formula shown in
:
