HOW CIRCUIT BREAKER RATING CALCULATED?WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS CONSIDERED?..

Answer / asutosh

the breaker rating depends on
1 total incoming supply in kV.
2 total power requirment in kVA.
3 the short circuit power for perticular supply.

HOW CIRCUIT BREAKER RATING CALCULATED?WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS CONSIDERED?..

Answer / r p payasi

kVA rating=Sqrt(3)*KV*Fault current(max)

so required is
1.Voltage of line
2.max fult current

Answer / p l narayana

circuit breakers are selected in kva which can calculated
from the fallowing equation
KVA Rating=3^0.5*phase voltage*short circuit current*1.25

Is This Answer Correct ?

2 Yes

5 No

Answer / jignesh

The C.B. rating r depend on load connected with it.
For three phase supply

I = KW/((ROUT3)*V*COS fi)

From we getting the current for given line then w easily
find C.B. rating with this current.

My system is 22kv/3.3kv transformer. client is asking to use NGR, but as we have dedicated Neutral Earthing systems which has a value less than 1 Ohm. So i want solid comparision. Why i should not use NGR as my system is already protected.Can any one help me to get out of this.how should i reply on basis of some great comparision and calculations. Please help
