what will happen if dc is supplied in acb or mccb or other circuit breakers?

Answer Posted / aman kumar

Basically mcb /mccb work on electromagnetic induction so if dc voltage supply in it then tripping coil in mcb/mccb does not produce magnetic field and so not trip. so it was not work in short circuit condition
On other hand if overload current is high then bimetallic strip in mcb/mccb expand and disconnected the circuit.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
