What is mean by making & breaking capacity of circuit
breakers?

Answer Posted / naresh kumar dhal

making capacity=2.55*symmetrical breaking capacity

Always ckt breakers are rated in its symmetrical breaking
capacity.It is the rms value of fault current that a ckt
breaker can handle for short duration of time,which is
called short time rating.
If breaker is rated 10 mva,then its symmetrical breaking
capacity is 10mva.i.e root3*v*I*10-6=10mva,from this u
calculate current.Which is the symmetrical breaking current
