Answer / engr ali mehmood
MCB are used for small power application; usually used in
the household appliances current rating is 5A.
MCCB are used in high power application in generation
station above 100A;Rarely used but the most common used in
industries is MPCB variable Rating of current adjust
according to the load current of the the appliances. and
the ELCB is a earth leakige circuit breaker it is use for a
body earth ground earth

P=Sq rt 3VI pf
So I = 27.8 Amps. considering the staring current twice as full load current = 55A so 63 A MCCB required. Depends on the KA of the system 25KA or 50 KA MCCB can be selected.

A powerplant has 8 gensets operating in grid parallel mode. In one genset sometimes there is pf variation and kvar variation. The plant operates in pf mode. When this variation is onbserved the load is stable, voltage is also stable, freq and genset speed is also stable. How will you check the functioning of pf card. What shall be the ideal output vdc of the pfc, from there it is input to AVR?

10Hp, 3-phase, 415v, 50Hz induction motor. The above motor is to run on Star-Delta connection, so how do i make following hardware selection 1) MCB, 2) Contactor, 3) Wire Gage (Depending on P-P current or Line Current), 4) OLR, Please tell in detail how to do the above, so as to get the ans. of it even if the Hp rating changes.
