WE are using a 63A MCCB(SIEMENS MAKE) for one of the feeder
in LV substation panel.It is supplying to a lighting & power
socket DB.Settings in the MCCB is Ir = 63 * 1 , Isd = 8
times of Ir , tsd = 0.5 sec( I2 t off).
Sometimes this MCCB is tripping .But no trip in DB MCB.
Can anybody tell me reason ?
From where i can know about the MCCB settings?

Dear fren i think your Isd is very much high or it may
highest in. kindly che it out and may consult your vendor

HI Friend,
I think there must be a earth leakage in your receiving end.
Always the MCB trips for Short circit,where as the MCCB
trips for both earth leakage & short circuit.

Hi,
Is it instantaneous tripping? If it is, Isd might be too low
(in fact it is consider high in this case) and tsd might be
too short, need to check the downstream loads.
might to provide more info?

This may be due to absense of discrimination feature in
DB.or cascading is not as per requirement.better to have a
word with siemens engineer

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
