Hello friends i am facing one problem in lighting panel.
Frequently neutral link near to MCCB is burning(firing. What
may be the reason for this one. Please answer me.

Answer / sunil guru
the current rating is greater than the MCCB rating. so go for
higher current rating...

Answer / m v v s n murthy
Generally, we will distribute our 1 phase loads equally in 3
phases to get the balanced load and the circuit becomes star
connected. In star connection, there will be no current in
neutral line if the load is balanced.
In the lighting loads also we have to distribute equally in
3 phases. If not, current will increased in neutral.
In your case you did not devide the lighting load to get
balanced star connection, and also the neutral link in your
MCCB under size to carry unbalanced neutral current. And
also there may be loose connection at neutral link.

Dear friend ,
First measure the current flowing thro MCCB .If it is MCCB
then it must have protective system . Set it as per max
current.measure the neutral current at full load. measure
neutal to earth voltage . most possible reasons are
1] Neutral link is undersized or
2] Loose connections
3] Neutral is not properly earthed .

Answer / anirudha
the mccb is burning because the rating for the current for
which it is selected may not be proper

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
