According to IEC60865-1 Standard, electromagnetic effects are the same not importing

the short-circuit duration. Only the thermal effect is different.

According to Section 3 of the above mentioned standard "The thermal effects on bare
conductors and electrical equipment" ch.3.2.4.1 Electrical Equipment

Tkr =rated short-time; Ithr= rated short-time withstand current

Tk= new short-time; Ith=new short-time current

If Tk>Tkr Ith= Ithr*sqrt(Tkr/Tk)

That means-according to this standard- Ith=28.6*sqrt (0.3/1) =15.66 kA for 1 sec.

The formula is:

I21t1 = I22t2

Where,

I1 is the short time withstand current as per design = 28.6kA

t1 is the short time withstand current duration = 0.3 sec.

I2 is the short time withstand current for the desired duration

t2 is the desired duration = 1 sec.

Thus, in your case, the one second duration short time withstand current would
be: 15.66kA
