IF we have 500kva transformer & know the current on HT & LT side, how can we consider for its breaker?
Answer Posted / maze one
S = I x V x sq. root of 3
where:
S = Apparent Power, VA
I = Current, A
V = Voltage, V
note : use sq. root of 3 if the system is 3 phase
let's say Voltage = 460V @ Secondary Side
I = (500,000 VA)/(460V)(sq. root of 3)
I = 1,882.66 A
you may multiply the safety factor by 125% to 250%
or using inversed time circuit breaker by 250%
I will use 125% only, that is safe
I = 1882.66 x 125%
I = 2,353.325 AT

i have gear oil pump with single phase motor.some time its motor starts running in reverse direction rather than forward direction...whats the reason behind this issue. 1- either capacitor is week? 2- or winding is week?
a)In a 3-phase 4-wire circuit, a circuit breaker is selected to protect the circuit whose highest fault level is 6.6 MVA. Determine the required minimum breaking capacity in kA. (Note: Covert 3-phase power in terms of kA to find answer.) b)Using the below, determine the required minimum making capacity in kA as a “peak value”. Rate breaking capacity (Icn) ka: Icn<= 1.5 Factor = 1.41 1.5
