What is the Difference Between MCCB & ACB & VCB
Answer Posted / d e dhansingh
All the said breakers havet their own rupturing capacity (
ability to break the prospective short circuit level) and
are used accordingly.
MCB is Miniature Circuit Breaker which has a rupturing
capacity of 10KA and is used for lighting and other
circuits where the short circuit levels are below 10 KA
MCCBs or Moulded case circuit breakers have a rupturing
capacity of 80 KA
ACBs or Air circuit breakers have a rupturing capacity upto
120KA
VCBs are vacuum circuit breakers which are extensively used
in LV & HV circuits because of their advantages like a
longer operating life and lower erosion of contacts.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I - is the value of AC fault current. t - is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K – is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
