Answer Posted / rama

The average curent of DC is higher than AC .Same thumb rule
is used for selecting cable either DC or AC but insulation
depends on voltage level.
The loss in DC transmision is less than in AC transmission.

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
