Engineering Degree Course Level 2— Semester 2 EE 202 ~ Distribution and Utilization Rating of Miniature Circuit Breakers Name Index No. Is Field €& f Group B3 Date 17-03-2004 Instructed By Me. LP. Piyasinghe 1, Connect one MCB to the circuit shown in the figure below and adjust to pass the rated current through the MCB and noted down the variac o the switch “S” and increase the variac voltage to little higher value. A\ the variac output voltage yutput voltage. Then open fter that close the switch “S” and start the stop watch simultaneously. Note down the current in the test circuit and corresponding operating time of MCB. Similarly obtain the operating ti 0. SoHE 0-300] ime for different currents. A a Tr Ratings of MC ‘Operating Time (S) 2. Plot the current Vs Operating time for both MCB and hence find the tripping factor for the MCBs. Tripping minimum over current required +o, aber ss trip an McB Rated Current ‘What are the advantages and disadvantages of MCB over re-wirable fuse? fre win advantage of McBa over rewirable fuse ie can be manually reset without having to my wire. Other advantages ave, wee are smaller Datribution and Uaiizavion . ae ma noe you have to consider other than rated current, when you ate Voltage range and rated Frequency hos, to match the values m the system for the UCB to operate properly. Myo temperature also should be im the Yated ambient temperature range; if not, the MCB will either trip unnecessarily or will not trip at all. The Wsgulation voltage also has to be woneiteree 5. Discuss other methods of protection used in low voltage supply system. BM Magnetic Circuit Brecker — Uses a solenoid whose pulling force increages with current.
