How to calculate rated currennt Of Mcb for 2hp motor... ..

Answer / prdp

simply calculate the line current which 2hp motor will take
by considering the power factor.Again give some margin for
the overloading of motor.
for 3 phase motor,line rated current
= 2*746/(1.73*linevoltage*pf)

How to calculate rated currennt Of Mcb for 2hp motor... ..

Answer / shri..

v = 415
hp = 2
PF 0.7
W = 1492

A = (1492)/(415*1.732*0.7)

A = 1044.4 /503.14

A = 2.96 Amps / Phase

How to calculate rated currennt Of Mcb for 2hp motor... ..

Answer / marlo

motor rated current on the nameplate multiplied by 300%.This will allow the MCB not to trip during starting.However each MCB has its own characteristic depending on its application.see MCB code for it purpose of application.MCB has a code for quick release and time delay trip.
