  ABSTRACT: MV distribution networks are exposed to various types of short-circuit faults generating high currents that can affect stability, power quality, and equipment safety. This article presents an in-depth analysis of short-circuit current behavior in an MV distribution network incorporating a shunt-type static reactive power compensator (DSTATCOM). Using simulations performed in MATLAB/Simulink, the impact of the DSTATCOM is evaluated for single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase faults. The results obtained demonstrate a significant reduction in fault current amplitudes, mitigation of voltage sags, and overall improvement in network stability.
