MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
In a short circuit test on circuit breaker, time to reach the peak re-striking voltage is 50 µs with the peak restriking voltage of 100 kV. Determine average RRRV (Rate of rise re-striking voltage)?
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.
Class C trip curve: MCB with class C trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 5 to 10 times the rated current. Suitable Domestic and residential applications and electromagnetic starting loads with medium starting currents.
Class D trip curve: MCB with class D trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between Above 10 (excluding 10) to 20 times the rated current. Suitable for inductive and motor loads with high starting currents.
Class K trip curve: MCB with class K trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 8 to 12 times the rated current. Suitable for inductive and motor loads with high inrush currents.
MCCB stands for Moulded Case Circuit Breaker. MCB stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker. ELCB stands for Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker RCCB stands for Residual Current Circuit Breaker.
