how to estimate the breaker capacity of breaker,please give
the one example( 6.6 kv breaker,800a)?????

Answer Posted / raghavendran.r

Step1: Calculate the system MVA.I have calculated that as 1.732*6600*800 = 9.144MVA. I have taken it as 10 MVA for easy calculations further.From the system MVA find out the Fault MVA value using the per unit impedance.i.e

Fault MVA = System MVA /P.u.Impedance.I am taking iot as .1
Hence we arrive at the Fault MVA.From this condition we get to know the Short circuit current as Isc = Fault MVA/Sys Voltage(6.6kV).

Usually, for a 6.6 kV system, the short circuit withstand rating is 40kA for 1 second.The Momentary current or making current is 2.55 times the Max. short circuit current.hHence we arrive at 100kA(Peak)

if there are six generators (3 gas CATT, one Jenbacher o1 MW each, and two nos Diesel 01 no 01 mw other 0.65mw EDGs ( say), 3 CAtt gas set have identical pole pitch,01mw EDG and Jenbacher gas Set have different pole pitch, how their power connection can be done to connect a common bus bar during installation. in short, how different pole pitched generators power connection can be done to connect a common busbar system through generators incomer ACBs.

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
