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.

Can i use the B-curve MCB instead of C-curve MCB
What is acsr cable and where we use it?
at meter room 50 hrc switch installed,but there are not get earthing proper,so what happen?and 11kv transformer out put going in to hrc main 400a three nog each? so earthing is require for all switch? (some customer made earthing at there home.)
how do i work out the Amps of a incommer if i am running 1 37 KW motor and a 0,75 KW motor and some solinoids
why ht cable end termination don't have a gland?
If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.

in cvt,there are two windings,1a,1n and 2a,2n.in my one project i use only one winding i.e.1a,1n. the other winding is not in use, so i connect it in open delta and want to close it by ibsertibg thermal resistor. the output of cvt is 132kv/115/sqrt3. plesae tell me exact value of resistor, so i may close it to avoid the resonance phenomenin. send me answer on this email adress please. aetcon-po@aetcon.com
