Answer / hari
If u have the fault mva and the voltage level at which the
CB is to be installed then :
Normal current would be the continuous current flowing in
the line ( u can take the next higher value from standard
values to take care of over current)
Breaking capacity would be tha fault MVA.
Rated symmetrical breaking current in kA would be Fault
MVA*1000/(1.732x Voltage in kV)
Rated making ct would be peak value of symmetrical breaking
current i.e 2.55 times breaking current
Short time rating would be rated symm breaking ct for 3 secs

Answer / ravi kumar singh
Breaking capacity will be always iN MVA= 1.732*Voltage in KV * cerrent in KA
making capacity = 2.55 * symmetrical breaking capacity
note:-( 1.41*1.8=2.55)
full load current= 1.8 * KVA

Answer / karthik
BREAKING CAPACITY OF CIRCUIT BREAKER
=SQRT(3) x V x I x 10-6
V is supply voltage
I is circuit breaker capacity
answer appears in MVA.

to calculate circuit breaker breaker capacity...there are
four steps :
1-indicate all actual nominal voltages and MVA of your
system
2-indicate the location of circuit breaker.
3-calculate the actual impedance between the known supply
to the point of fault at which near to circuit breaker.
4-then calculate:
a- short circuit current =
voltage of supply/((3^0.5)actual impedance)
b-MVA short citcuit=
(3^0.5)*voltage of supply*short circuit current
c c-breaking capacity=
MVA short citcuit*assymetry factor.
or
short circuit current*assymetry factor
notes:
Assymetry factor:1.5~1.6 for midium voltage
1.25 for low voltage
MVAshort circuit= fault level
breaking capacity: it is the value of peak current where
the circuit breaker is breaking.

we can consider circuit breaker capacity for particular
feeder depend upon the 1.2 times of full load current for
receiving end equipments

Show Details FROM:Muhammed Ikram TO:qa@allinterview.com Message flagged Saturday, June 4, 2011 10:07 PMMessage bodyHello all, i want to ask a question to all of you that what is VMM (voltage monitoring module )? how it work,s? i heard somewhere that it compare 1 phase voltage to other phase voltage. but there is also some setting on it. how to set it,s setting. please tell me briefly. Thank,s and Regard,s. Muhammed Ikram.
