Answer / avd

It depends on circuit breaker. If sensing eliment is
installed inside the CB or outside the CB. Like MCCB with
maganetic trip latch will operate. Same way MCB will also
operate as it has short ckt and O/L sensing eliment. But
large circuit breakers have relays outside.

1 Answers Ashok Leyland,

We have a 12MW power plant & we inject 5-6MW power to Orissa GRID. For this we have a 33KV/11KV switch yard having 12.5MVA power transformer. Some times we draw power during emergency. It is observed that during Export or Import for load less than 500Kw the power factor is decreasing to 0.3 . This is happening only during export or import. During island condition TG power factor OK.Our capacitor bank is provided with our Power plant auxilliary load. Please suggest how I can we improve our power factor during low load (GRID).
