Hi,

When modeling a 12-Pulse VFD that is fed from multiple transformers or a single multi-winding transformer, is it common to only utilize the fault current from one of the two transformers/windings? If the VFD input sources are within the same enclosure, should a scenario be considered where a fault could propagate from one source to the other and both sources of fault current should be considered?

Thanks for the input.

Same enclosure and no barriers? Yes, I would consider a fault involving both sources.
