The miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with ____ trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 10 to 20 times the rated current.
Type B MCB: Type B devices are generally suitable for domestic applications. They are designed to trip at fault currents of 3 - 5 times rated current.
Type C MCB: Type C devices are the normal choice for commercial and industrial applications These devices are designed to trip at 5 - 10 times rated current
Type D MCB: The Type D devices have more limited applications, normally in industrial use where high inrush currents may be expected. Type D devices are designed to trip at 10 - 20 times.
1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
Here auto transformer change voltage from 600 V to 200 V. Voltage ratio (a) = 600/200 = 3 kVA rating of the auto-transformer = (a/(a - 1))*(kVA rating of auto transformer) = (3/2)*20 = 30 kVA
The speed regulation of a motor expresses how much its speed varies between no-load and full load. The synchronous motor runs at a constant speed whose magnitude is dependent on supply frequency and the number of poles. Since the speed of the motor is constant hence its speed regulation is zero. Under no-load conditions with normal excitation, armature current Ia drawn by a synchronous motor lags the applied voltage V by a small angle.
The tendency of a Reach of Distance Relay to operate at impedance larger than its setting value is known as overreach. Overreach is the presence of d.c. offset in the fault current wave, as the offset current has a higher peak value than that of a symmetrical wave for which the relay is set.
