What's the difference between a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) and an interrupting rating (IR)? If you're not sure, clearing up the confusion could be as simple as brushing up on your definitions ...

All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution ...

A bolted short circuit occurs in the series R-L circuit of the given figure with V = 30 kV, X = 10Ω , R = 0.9Ω, and with maximum dc offset. The circuit breaker opens 3 cycles after fault inception.
