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.
Carrier current over the power line provides simultaneous tripping of circuit breakers at both ends of the line in one to three cycles.
Thereby high-speed fault clearing is obtained, which improves the power system stability.
The auto-reclosing simultaneous reclosing signal is sent thereby simultaneous (1 to 3 cycles) reclosing of the circuit breaker is obtained.
For simultaneous faults, carrier-current protection provides easy discrimination.
As per answer key "pilot protection" is true but there is mistake the right answer is "none".
Symmetrical breaking current:
It is the rms value of a a.c component of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
Asymmetrical breaking current:
It is the rms value of the total current comprising the a.c and d.c components of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
