how to select short circuit current while selecting a MCCB? how to calculate current for a given KV..

Answer / john

FOR A 1000KVA TRANSFORMER.
PRIMARY VOLTAGE=15000V=15KV
SECONDARY VOLTAGE=480V=.48KV
impedence =5.75%
short circuit current at primary=1000/15*1.73*.0575=670amps.
short circuit current at
secondary=1000/.48*1.73*.0575=20943amps.

Answer / prashant

The basic equation is

P= 1.732VICos(A) WHERE P = load in KW

If in KVA then convert it to KW

KW = KVA * Cos(A)

V=415
