Prospective Short Circuit Current
The prospective short circuit current (PSCC) is the highest electric current which can exist in a particular electrical system under short-circuit conditions. It is determined by the voltage and impedance of the supply system. It is of the order of a few thousand amperes for a standard domestic mains electrical installation, but may be as low as a few milliamperes in a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage or, occasionally, Separated Extra Low Voltage) system or as high as hundreds of thousands of amps in large industrial power systems.

Famous quotes containing the words current, circuit and/or short:
“Absolutely speaking, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you is by no means a golden rule, but the best of current silver. An honest man would have but little occasion for it. It is golden not to have any rule at all in such a case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The Father and His angelic hierarchy
That made the magnitude and glory there
Stood in the circuit of a needles eye.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Lifes too short for chess.”
