what is inrush current in transformer?

Answer Posted / subhas momdal

At the time of switching of a transformer total flux =
transient flux +steady state flux And it is equal to
double the normal flux. As flux is increase two times the
normal, therefore x-mer core will be run dip into
saturation.hence therefore magnetising current taken from
the supply will be too large nearly 50 times of original.
It is known as inrush current of x-mer.

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
