Lt cables has own impedance which reduce the short circuit fault level
Ratio of field current required to produce rated voltage in open circuit to the field current required to produce rated current in short circuit.
The calculation of greatest fault current of system is required for calculation of the capacity of the switchgear or bus bar or cable.

An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
the SCT is used to provide excitation during short circuit conditions. under Short Circuit the voltage may drop below threshold level causing field current to drop, to avoid over excitation by the AVR, the short circuit provides the excitation energy required to maintain a voltage that allows protective devices to operate and isolate the fault. the SCT is open under normal operating condition
Yes, different amperage rating circuit breakers can have the same short circuit characteristics.
Short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current required for the rated voltage at open circuit to the field current required for the rated armature current at short circuit
Ratio of field current required to produce rated voltage in open circuit to the field current required to produce rated current in short circuit.
When the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.
A short circuit study is required for that, modeling the electrical system. The short circuit current is also directly dependent on the location of the building system relative to the power grid and type of transformer bringing power into the building. For starters and keeping it "basic" look for Cooper Bussman's Point to Point Method of Short-Circuit Calculation. That is a good start and depending on what you need a good start. Remember to contact the utility company for available fault current, type of voltage transformer, transformer impedance and size. If you want to get technical, get SKM's software (expensive though). With it you can go several steps further into short circuit analysis, selective coordination and finally arc-flash protection. Hope this helped. JP Ross, Professional Engineer

Checked Stephen J. Chapman's Electric Machinery Fundamentals page 287. It says: Short Circuit Ratio (SCR) for the synchronous generator is the ratio of the field current required for the rated voltage at OPEN circuit to the field current require for the rated armature current at SHORT circuit.
1. That if a short circuit occurs we will get a sign before short circuit will happen or not ? 2. what we can do ? 3. how fuse can get a short circuit ? 4. which wires we have to use from preventing short circuit ?
You can consider a short circuit to be a resistor with R=0 Ohms. It is then clear by the equation for calculation of parallel resistance that the combined resistance of a resistor in parallel to a short circuit is 0. Consider the following example with R1= 1k Ohms and R2= 0 Ohms: Rtotal = R1*R2 / (R1+R2) = R1*0 / R1 = 0 Ohms.
A short circuit is one that is characterized by extremely low resistance. This will result in the extremely dramatic increase of current. High current will flow until a safety device opens the circuit, or the weakest link in it burns out. And one of the two usually occurs in a moment or two.==Short Circuit happens when the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.

No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
Long winded but true.
