how to select a circuit breaker?

Answer Posted / nilesh kumar singh

Selection of Circuit breaker
CURRENT RATING:
Transformer Rating (X)kVA
%age impedance of transformer - Z%
I Full load = X*1000/Sq. root 3*VL
Where X = Transformer rating in kVA
VL = Line Voltage
BREAKING CAPACITY:
Breaking Capacity of the breaker> I Fault Current

Fault Current (Level) = 1.1*VL/Sq. root 3*Z
Where Z = Impedance of Transformer
VL = Line Voltage

Z= %Z*10*(kV)*(kV)/KVA
MAKING CAPACITY:
Making Capacity depends upon the following:
a) Power Factor
b) Instant of switching ratio 'n' between required rate s/c
making capacity and rated s/c breaking capacity.

following are the questions asked in interviews: 1) Considering the short circuit fault, which switchgear is preferable, SFU OR MCCB? Which operates faster? whicg one is popular in Indian Market and why? 2)Define SCPD. What is type2 coodination? 3)Why the contactor rating is higher for the fuseless selection than for fuse selection? whether the ratinf of SFU or MCCB remains the same in both the cases? 4)If the HP rating is known then can you calculate the ratings of L.V Switchgear(SFU/MCCB, contactor, OLR) without using the selection chart?
