Answer / shailender gupta
Ans is right but required
calculation.is
p= root(3) VI COS phi.
find out current i.e I after
putting the value of V , p cosphi
and you will get required
current and multiply with 1.75
acc. to IEC fir safty purpose for
equipment

ACB generally refers to Air Circuit Breaker used for the protection of devices from overloadings or short circuit currents has its range upto 1600A.
MCCB generally refers to Moulded Case Circuit Breaker has its range from 15A to 1600 and generally start at 14kAIC but go up to 100kAIC for applications with high fault current capacity.
So essentially, an ACB is used as almost the last line of defense during a fault. ACB are designed to be field maintainable, unlike MCCBs which are not.

Answer / e.r k.k dash
Suppose there is 750 kva transformer.then acb can choosen by following foamula=kva*1.35=amp
750*1.35=1012.50 amp
So next higher range is chossen.that is 1250 4 pole with high breaking capacity.

HOW WOULD YOU PRESENT THE POWER FACTOR PRACTICALLY ON A GRAPH
why we not using 230kv directly why we are stepping down and then stepping up
difference b/w semiconductor and dielectric
what is a diffrence between MCCB, RCCB, MCB, & ELCB ? what is rated current e.g. on motor name plate indicated that is rated curent? what is full load current? If we run D.C. motor with mechanical coupling and we measure voltage on terminal it shows voltage or not ? same in AC also possible ?
