Now a days DG manufactures assuring that the DGs can be
loaded up to 120% of its rated capacity. But it is always
good to design DG for a maximum load of 80% of the rated
capacity to get the maximum efficient running. In your case
You can load a maximum load of 125.8 kW at pf 0.85. So you
have to give an incomer of MCCB with rating suitable for
125.8kW.
W=root3 x VI x pf
so I = W/root3 x V x pf
I think 250A, 16kA, 4Pole MCCB with 80% plug setting may be
suitable for you.
Accordingly select your incomer with suitable kA rating
with respect to your total load.
Since the Genset Rating is given in KVA as 180KVA.
I think you should calculate the full load Amperage as
follows:
Formula
I=KVAx1000/Root3x400V
ie, 180x1000/1.732(400)
=180,000/692.82
=259A as full load Amperage.
Generator rating is 180KVA.
Actually all electrical data is made avialable on genrator
name plate by manufacturer.
If you consider the PF is 0.8 Lag.
Then KW=KVA*PF
i.e. KW=180*0.8
=144 KW
P(KW)= 1.732*V*I*PF
Then,
144=1.732*415*I*0.8
I= (144/1.732*415*0.8)*1000
I= 250.42 Amps.
This is the full load current of generator with 0.8 PF &
415V.
In case of DG sets the generator O/P power is restricted by
power of driving engine, beyond that limit you can,t load
the particular generator. You can put upto 125% of to
genrator but not for too long period.
a bulb of 100W and anather bulb of 200W , rated supply
voltage 230v.when supply voltage is reduced to 100v,which
bulb will give more light? and why with calculation?
