WE are using a 63A MCCB(SIEMENS MAKE) for one of the feeder in LV substation panel.It is supplying to a lighting & power socket DB.Settings in the MCCB is Ir = 63 * 1 , Isd = 8 times of Ir , tsd = 0.5 sec( I2 t off). Sometimes this MCCB is tripping .But no trip in DB MCB. Can anybody tell me reason ? From where i can know about the MCCB settings?
