TRANSFORMER PROTECTION Primary side For the protection of transformer with a circuit breaker connected to the primary side (LT primary) the no load inrush current of the transformer must be considered. The peak value of the first current wave often reaches 10-15 times the rated current and may sometimes reach as high as 20-25 times. However, the transient decays very quickly (in a few m.sec.). Thus the MCCB selected should have a magnetic setting which will not be actuated by the momentary inrush current. Secondary side STANDARD MCCBs can be used for protection of transformer on the LT side (secondary side) as an outgoing protective device. The above table gives fault current in amperes till which level the downstream breakers shall act prior to the upstream breaker The rated current of the transformer is calculated as follows :

Selection & Application
FEEDER / CABLE PROTECTION An estimation of the prospective short-circuit current (psc) in an installation is an important consideration in the selection of the appropriate protective device. The magnitude of the short-circuit current (rms value of the AC component) at a point in the installation will depend upon; (A) Prospective short-circuit current at the origin of the installation. (B) The amount of resistance in the circuit between the origin of the installation and the point at which the short circuit occurs. (C) The type of short-circuit, phase to phase or phase to earth or phase to neutral. It is possible to arrive at a maximum prospective short circuit value at the origin by taking the transformer kVA rating and its impedance and calculating from the expression : SC kA= The values assume a symmetrical fault across the three phases. In a single circuit, for line to neutral faults, take the cable resistance value from the table and double it. The selection of STANDARD MCCB for feeder /cable protection depends on the total load to be protected and the prospective short-circuit current (psc) at the point of installation. PSC at PSC at B resistance A to B (a) PSC at C +resistance A to B +resistance B to C1 PSC at D +resistance A to B +resistance B to C +resistance C to D (a) 2 cables per phase divided by 2 (b) 2 core cable, multiplied by 2 The above calculations have an inbuilt safety margin as they assume a no impedance fault condition which would not be the case in practice. Aapproximately 27kA 0.30mW = 25kA 0.30mW 10.70mW 11.00mW = 12kA 0.30mW 10.70mW 46.00mW (b) 57.00mW = 3kA Fault Current (kA)
To calculate the resistance in the LV circuit, obtain details of lengths and sizes of cables between the source of supply and the point under calculation. Using the table provided, determine the sum of cable resistances and then simply read off the estimated fault current from the relevant transformer curve on the graph.

MCCB
Current Carrying Capacity The continuous current carrying capacity is generally a function limited by the temperature rise of various internal components of MCCBs.
Capacitor Rating (KvAr)
The AC rating of MCCBs is expressed as RMS value. The DC rating is Average value. The RMS and average value can be related by a Form Factor which is 1.1. Hence, an AC MCCB can be assigned a 10% higher DC current rating. But in practice the use of DC MCCB ratings are equal to AC ratings and thereby, temperature rise is restricted within limits. Overload Release & Overload Protection The overload release are generally thermal type with a BimetalHeater system. The heating effect which can be expressed by the factor integral I t varies for AC and DC. The integral (I t) for AC will be 1.21 times integral (I avt) for DC, thus an AC MCCB when used in DC circuit will trip slower. For example a 100A AC MCCB when used in DC circuit for 100A will sense a 20% overload only from 133A onwards.

When a capacitor circuit is opened, it exhibits characteristics distinctly differently from inductor loads due to the effects of residual electric charge in the capacitor. The recovery voltage appears across the contacts immediately after the circuit is opened is equal to the difference between the capacitor residual voltage and supply voltage. Therefore half a cycle after the circuit opens, the voltage between the contacts of the switch rises to twice the supply voltage or higher. In a three phase circuit the recovery voltage appearing between the contacts in the first interrupted phase could rise to as high as 2.5 times the supply voltage. Unless the breaker contacts are fully open for at least cycle after the capacitor current is interrupted, restrike of arc is likely to occur. If the restrike arc is repeated, the voltage could continue to rise to the dielectric breakdown point of the capacitor. Hence, fast interrupting, quick make, quick-break circuit breakers should be used for this type of circuit. When a capacitor circuit is closed a condenser charge q = CU which corresponds to the instantaneous value U of the supply voltage at closing time, must be instantaneously supplied, causing a large inrush current to flow through it. If the capacitor circuit is closed in the voltage phase at which the inrush current is maximum, the maximum value of the inrush current is approximately, Ip =
To retain the same Overload characteristics as AC, it is important to separately calibrate the MCCBs for DC ratings and overload tripping characteristics need to be suitably modified. Short Circuit Release & Short Circuit Protection The short circuit release is actuated by the peak value of the AC sine wave. Since no such peak exists in DC, DC tripping will be slower. Hence to achieve the same short circuit pick up level in DC, the short circuit release will be calibrated specially. Short Circuit Breaking Capacity In AC the breaking of the short circuit current usually occurs within the first current zero, by the current limiting effect. No such current zero exists in DC. Arc breaking and ultimate quenching of arc depends on the rapid dissipation of the inductive Energy Li

The maximum time duration during which the maximum current flows is about 0.5 ms. Selection of a MCCB for capacitor circuit duty must therefore consider the effects of higher short circuit and inrush currents. This will affect the choice of instantaneous trip current rating. In practice, an MCCB which satisfies the following equations should be chosen. I r > 1 X Ic .5
The figures shown are based on following motor starting conditions : Direct online 7 X full load current for 5 seconds. Star/Delta 4 X full load current for 12 seconds.
This energy dissipation is dependent on L/R or time constant of the circuit. The L/R values should be limited to 10-15 milli seconds to achieve satisfactory performance. This is achieved usually by splitting the DC arc voltage over 2 or 3 poles by connecting them in series, depending upon on the DC voltage.

It is therefore necessary to select a circuit breaker with current rating not less than 1.5 - 2.0 times the rated current of the capacitor.
