how to select short circuit current while selecting a MCCB? how to calculate current for a given KV..

Answer / john

FOR A 1000KVA TRANSFORMER.
PRIMARY VOLTAGE=15000V=15KV
SECONDARY VOLTAGE=480V=.48KV
impedence =5.75%
short circuit current at primary=1000/15*1.73*.0575=670amps.
short circuit current at
secondary=1000/.48*1.73*.0575=20943amps.

Answer / prashant

The basic equation is

P= 1.732VICos(A) WHERE P = load in KW

If in KVA then convert it to KW

KW = KVA * Cos(A)

V=415

a)In a 3-phase 4-wire circuit, a circuit breaker is selected to protect the circuit whose highest fault level is 6.6 MVA. Determine the required minimum breaking capacity in kA. (Note: Covert 3-phase power in terms of kA to find answer.) b)Using the below, determine the required minimum making capacity in kA as a “peak value”. Rate breaking capacity (Icn) ka: Icn<= 1.5 Factor = 1.41 1.5

What is principal to reduce earth leakage current with isolation transformer? When isolation transformer is installed in input stage of system, earth leakage current is reduced. the reason is why the leakage current of 2nd stage of isolation transformer does not affect the 1st stage's leakage current. I would like to know the reason. As you know, earth leakage current is a kind of AC. So, How to reduce earth leakage current in case that isolation transformer is used?
