In EcoSet Design, what is the Current tab in the Curves and Selectivity window used for?
The Current tab in the Curves and Selectivity window allows users to display and analyze key operating and fault current values directly on the protection curve graph.
These current markers provide a visual reference that helps users understand how the electrical installation behaves under both normal operating conditions and fault conditions.
The displayed current values may include:
- Ib – Design Current
- IefMin – Minimum Earth Fault Current
- Ik3Max – Maximum Three-Phase Short-Circuit Current
By displaying these markers on the graph, users can:
- Assess protective device operation and tripping behavior.
- Verify cable and equipment protection.
- Evaluate protection coordination and selectivity.
- Compare fault current levels against protection settings.
- Identify potential protection or sizing issues.
The Current tab provides valuable insights into circuit performance and helps engineers validate that protective devices are correctly selected and coordinated for the installation.
