How to select Main CB Rating for 220 KW Load?..

Answer / ashif khan

before the selection,first we should know that it is single
phase or three phase load.in case 1-phase we use p=vicosф to
find out the load current but in 3-phase we use p=√3vicosф.
suppose it's 3-phase then load current=382amp.now add
minimum 25% safety factor to it.then it will be 475amp ,so
we can select C.B of 500amp current rating.

Answer / velusamy

Select based upon current rating
next 220kw using voltage

For Ex:
220kw
415v
means it will take arround 350 Amps so we can select the CB

more than the current with withstand capacity

Hello everyone, somebody knows what is a "surplice power" ? The hole phrase is: "This rating is appropriate for a generator set paralleled with an infinite bus e.g. a national electrical supply network or grid where the generator set is run at 100% load, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any surplice power is exported into the grid" Thanks in advance.
