What are the difference between C-Curve and D-Curve for
MCB's.
Answer Posted / nimda
The magnetic trip for a B-curve MCB will not operate below 5
times rated thermal current but will surely operate
instantaneously above 10 times rated thermal current.
The magnetic trip for a D-curve MCB is will not operate
below 10 times rated thermal current but will surely operate
instantaneously above 20 times rated thermal current.
The choice between B-curve and C-curve depends on the loads
ratio between load inrush current and load running steady
state current.
For the same running load current if the cable is long then
a D-type MCB may need a larger cable cross sectional area,
compared to a C-type MCB, just to ensure that sufficient
fault current always is available for operation of the
instantaneous magnetic trip.

ASTM D 3455 - Standard Test Methods for Compatibility of Construction Material with Electrical Insulating Oil of Petroleum Origin has been used for Testing Transformer Oils with a product placed in it. Aged Control Oil has a Power Factor of 0.032% at 100°C. Aged Oil with a Test component has a Power Factor of 0.093% at 100°. Is this increase acceptable? If not why? How much increase is acceptable?
