Breaking capacity of circuit breaker = √3*VL*Ib
VL - line voltage in volt
IL - Line current/breaking in ampere
VL = 33 kV
S = 2000 MVA
Ib = 30*1000 (in kVA)/(√3*33)
Ib = 34.99 kA
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.
Permissible overload = Full load kVA*factor for permissible load
= 1000*1.24
= 1240 kVA
Short circuit kVA of any bus is given by:
Skva = Sbase*(100/% X)
Where,
Sbase - base rating in kVA
% X - value of reactance in %
