KASC Thousands of amps of available short circuit current...
Is this a Canadian acronym?
It is definitely not commonly used in the US; we say kSCA.
I do not believe it is common in Europe either.
No not Canadian, just an answer to the original Question.
Schneider Series rating guide uses KA Sym
Bussman fault current calculator uses SCA (Short Circuit Amps) and ASC Available short circuit current
Cutler hammer's series rating guide is using KA Sym.
GE series rating guide only seems to refer to XXX Amperes IC as the term.
It seems the terminology has gained prominence in the discussion and has taken a life of it's own. Rather than argue about whether it is a defined term or not lets accept it is becoming code language (or not) and address the question. Is the question ambiguous because of the terminology? If that answer is yes then I appreciate the point of defining the term in a particular way. I think every one in the discussion knows what is being asked here.
