When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L
protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC
protection & ground fault protection. They all have some
setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting
for the above protection which will be safe for the
equipment?
For example-O/L protection setting have a range of
(0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn

Time delay SC protection have a range of
(1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn
Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4

Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn

Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A

This setting are for 2500A ACB.

So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above
protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<

Before i went to bed my master bathroom lights were working fine. At 2 am, when I went to use the lights, none of them were working. The outlets throughout the bathroom work, but the lights and fan above the toilet don't. I have two panels of switches. The one panel has four switches. One of the switches turns on the hall light, and that works. The other three are to other lights, and they don't. The other panel has three switches. One of those is to the fan, and the other is to a light above the toilet. The other is a to light that is also on that other panel. I tried the breakers, and the one that turns off the outlets, marked for the bathrooom, turns on and off the outlets. None seemed to be tripped. I checked the lightbulbs, and they are fine. Please help
