Well 100KA is another way of saying 100,000 amps. That is a whole lot of current. I am sure that is well above what the starter could ever draw under any circumstances, but it also seems like more than would be drawn even with a cable fault. I would think the resistance of the fault and cables would limit the current to a value less than 100KA, so just off the top of my head, that sounds too high. Russ
