How many types of relay are present in a VCB and ACB, what
are the tests we can conduct on both breakers and how to
set the relays values

Answer Posted / s naidu

in a vcb this are main relay
1-phase unbalance relay -2nos
2-earth leakege trip relay
3-TR common fault relay

in acb this are main relay
1-load balancing relay
2-u/o voltage relay
3-earth fault relay
4-master trip realy

this tests are carried out generally on both CB
i-cb in open & close position test
2-continuity of contacts
3-manual closing,electrical closing, remote closing
4-remote tripping though protection relays
5-check spring charging motors are in working

relays calibrated operating characteristics to electrical
circuits.

Is This Answer Correct ?    54 Yes 7 No

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
