almost all answer is somewhat correct

the main thing is to selection of proper MCB which matches
with your equipments and instruments

for that i'd like to give you an case study...

let's Assume one Heating Control Action

suppose i am using a 1ph. heater of 1200 Watt (5.2 Amps)
now i am controlling heating action using an SSR or
relay/contactor

now if i will select SSR (relay/contactor)'s rating =6 amps
and i also impliment MCB of 6 Amps.b-curve

then in case of heater failer or implimenting different
rating's heater,

assume that circuit is taking some higher current say, 10
Amps in such my SSR(relay/contactor)will damage due to high
load current which is higher then their rating of 6 Amps

but MCB will not trip instently ( it trips after 5-10 min.
because load current is not more then 12 Amps)

in this case MCB will not protect your instruments.

now if i'll decrease MCB's rating it will starts tripping
on and on.....

if i'll select MCB more then 6 Amps again in this case MCB
will not trip

so that, if i m using b curve 6 Amps MCB then i must select
SSR(relay/contactor)'s rating more then 12 Amps say 15Amps.
then and then problem will be solve.

also if i will use MCB of C or D curve then Again i have to
choose instruments which has atleast 3-5 times higher
rating of MCB.

In our factory so many iron pillors are exists for supporting the shed/Hangar. If do more no of earthings at one piller instead of doing more earth pits in many locations and running earth strip around the hanger, I can save the money. Please suggest this method is acceptable as per Is specifications though the Earth resitance of the farthest piller is with in the limits as per IS specifications.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
