In an electrical grid, the short circuit ratio is the ratio of the short circuit apparent power (SCMVA) in the case of a line-line-line-ground (3LG) fault at the location in the grid where some generator is connected to the power rating of the generator itself (GMW). Since the power that can be delivered by the grid varies by location, frequently a location is indicated, for example, at the point of interconnection (POI):
