What does 30mA trip current mean?
30ma refers to the rated current leakage circuit breakers, if the leakage exceeds the rated leakage current leakage circuit breaker will trip.
WHAT IS II in circuit breaker?
Ii: Short-circuit instantaneous relay trip-current setting.
What do the numbers on circuit breakers mean?
Every circuit breaker has a specified amperage (amount of current). This rating is labeled on the breaker itself. The standard for most household circuits are rated either 15 amps or 20 amps. That means a 15-amp circuit breaker can handle around 12-amps and a 20-amp circuit breaker can handle about 16 amps.
What is a 30mA differential circuit breaker?
The use of the term 30mA differential circuit breaker is not appropriate. It is a differential switch that must be installed ahead of the divisional circuit-breakers, at the beginning of the electrical box row.
What should a 30mA RCD trip at?
For instance, a healthy 30mA RCD should trip between 27mA and 30mA with all electrical appliances disconnected. If by conducting a ramp test your tester trips the RCD outside of these thresholds, you could have a faulty device that may be prone to nuisance tripping.
What is the rating of MCCB?
Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) The current rating of MCCB is up to 2500 amps. It is mainly used for high current applications. The MCCB has a manually operated switch for tripping the circuit.
What is IM setting in MCCB?
Short Time Pick up Value (Im) (multiplied by the ampere rating) sets the short circuit current level at which the circuit breaker will trip after the set time delay. The short-time pickup (Isd) sets current level (below instantaneous trip level) at which circuit breaker will trip after the preset time delay.
How do I choose my Mccb rating?
Following specifications are required to select appropriate MCB or MCCB….Specification / Name Plate Details of MCB/MCCB:
- Frame Size (Inm): Amp.
- Rated current (In/ Ie): Amp.
- Ultimate short circuit breaking capacity (Icu): KA.
- Rated short-circuit breaking capacity (Ics): \% of Icu.
