Answer / engr ali mehmood
MCB are used for small power application; usually used in
the household appliances current rating is 5A.
MCCB are used in high power application in generation
station above 100A;Rarely used but the most common used in
industries is MPCB variable Rating of current adjust
according to the load current of the the appliances. and
the ELCB is a earth leakige circuit breaker it is use for a
body earth ground earth

P=Sq rt 3VI pf
So I = 27.8 Amps. considering the staring current twice as full load current = 55A so 63 A MCCB required. Depends on the KA of the system 25KA or 50 KA MCCB can be selected.
