IEC/TC 73 - Short-circuit currents
To prepare international standards for standardized procedures for the calculation of short-circuit currents, and of their thermal and mechanical effects. The standards shall be, as far as possible, in a form to facilitate their use by non-specialist engineers.
Courants de court-circuit
Préparer des normes internationales concernant des procédures normalisées pour le calcul des courants de court-circuit et de leurs effets thermiques et mécaniques. Ces normes seront présentées, autant que possible, sous une forme facilitant leur emploi par des ingénieurs non spécialisés.

Frequently Asked Questions
IEC/TC 73 is a Technical Committee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Short-circuit currents" and is responsible for: To prepare international standards for standardized procedures for the calculation of short-circuit currents, and of their thermal and mechanical effects. The standards shall be, as far as possible, in a form to facilitate their use by non-specialist engineers. This committee has published 11 standards.
IEC/TC 73 develops ISO standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: To prepare international standards for standardized procedures for the calculation of short-circuit currents, and of their thermal and mechanical effects. The standards shall be, as far as possible, in a form to facilitate their use by non-specialist engineers. Currently, there are 11 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
