Class B trip curve: The MCB with class B trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 3 to 5 times rated current. These MCBs are suitable for cable protection. Hence, For 16 A current Type B MCB disconnect fault at 3*16 = 48 A to 5*16 = 80 A.
The electrostatic stress in a cable is not uniformly distributed. The potential gradient is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the cable. Hence, it will be maximum (gmax) at the surface of the conductor and goes on decreasing until it becomes minimum (gmin) at the surface of the sheath. That means electrostatic stress in the dielectric of a cable is maximum at the surface of the conductor and minimum at the surface of the sheath.
As per the key statistics data of IEA With electricity consumption reached to 1,164 TWh in the country till November 2019, India ranked third among the top ten electricity consuming countries across the globe.
In bias differential protection for transformer, There are two basic settings required to setup the percentage biased differential protection. 1. Minimum pickup 2. The slope.
The minimum pick-up covers the transformer magnetizing current typically 1-4% of transformer rating. A pick up of 0.2 to 0.3 times the TAP is recommended for general cases.
The slope is defined by determining the potential sources of differential current.
