Power network is the power system of power generation equipment and electric equipment in the outside. Power network transmission and distribution, including three links. Mainly by power lines, substation and ac and dc converter (realize mutual transformation technology device). According to the function can be divided into the transmission lines, regional grid, tie and distribution network. Power network distribution in vast territory of plants and YongDianHu becomes an organic whole repeatedly, the production of electric power to scatter. Power network operation condition is safe, reasonable, directly affects the development of national economy. Therefore, the setting of power network computing research, has very important practical significance.As the electric power network scale unceasingly expands, the power system protection device of increasing of quantity and quality enhances unceasingly, relay protection management of complexity and difficulty of technology are also increasing. Its core is the power network of relay protection setting calculation. Based on the classic example to short-circuit fault fault current electricity network is introduced, and the calculation method of short-circuit current calculation system setting the further improvement and development are discussed.In power system and the actual operation before the operation parameters change, all need through short circuit calculation, solving some electrical equipment through the short-circuit current, relay protection setting value and the key parameter calibration equipment, electric equipment to ensure safe operation. Power system correctly grasp the basic principle of short-circuit current calculation method is correct and relay protection setting electrical equipment and related parameters of the value of the key. Through the calculation of the electric equipment and experienced impact to open to choose equipment capacity and provide technical basis. Meanwhile, through calculation of electrical equipment in various fault condition, giving the fault current protection device fixed value setting. These work in power system in the daily work appear particularly important and meaningful.This paper introduced the short-circuit current calculation method and process, then combines power network, through the analysis of the characteristics of a simple system of power networks relay protection setting calculation, this article analyzes the problems and the causes of different conclusion of different calculation methods applicable scope.Keywords: power network, The setting, Short-circuit current calculation, Relay protection, Short-circuit current,我请我老师翻译的 呵呵
