Answer / patrick
CBs are selected accordind the following:
voltage rating
I fault current
load current
environment

Answer / dattasri
It depemds on the rating of the equipment which is to be
protected.
the rating of the CB shud be more than the rating of the
Switch gears for more efficient protection
