I have carried out wiring for lighting in a shed in
Industrial area which contains Metal halide lamps & have
balanced in 3ph.Now when we put all the lines on in the
daytime the current taken at 3phases at MCB comes to be
equal i.e.28,29,28Amps respectively but in the night time
i.e between 7p.m.to 11p.m. at the same MCb the current is
52,59,62Amp, though I have fit 63A MCB it is tripping in
the above period.What may be the reason.?
Note: This industry is located in industrial area where
majority of steel ingot manufacturing plants are there.
Whether this may be due to harmonic? what should I do to
overcome above problem.pl suggest urgently.
Answer Posted / h r jadhav
pl check the maloperation of mcb or correct rating of mcb/
secondly the power factor may be very low of the metal hal
lamps during day time that may be compenseted by bus
capacitors and which are disconnected at the time of no
work. there by increasing current and mcb get tripped/ pl
use energy efficient electronics ballast.

Determine a suitable number of slors and conductors per slot for the starter 1 winding of a 3 phase, 3300 V. SO Hz 300 rpm alternator. The diameter is 2.3 m
This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
