Typical Power System

Types of Power Connections

LT
< 50KW.
HT
> 50KW.
Independent feeders 11KV.
High Voltage Transmission/ Distribution is Preferred
because of Low losses & Reduced size of Conductors
during transmission.
The power is transmitted at high voltage and low
current.
The heat generated during transmission is
proportional to current transmission.

Advantage of Soft Starter

It starts the motor rotor from zero to
designed speed thereby reducing initial
load on system.
The star Delta starts generally starts with
jerk i.e. 30 % of designed speed.
Soft starters are preferred at high heads.

MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker),

Rated current not more than 63 A, Thermal or
thermal-magnetic operation.

MCCB (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker)

Rated current above 32 A upto 630 A, Trip
current may be adjustable, Thermal or
thermal-magnetic operation.

Air Circuit Breaker

Rated current from 800 A upto 6,000 A,
Trip characteristics often fully adjustable including
configurable trip thresholds and delays.
Usually electronically controlledsome models are
microprocessor controlled.
Often used for main power distribution in large
industrial plant, where the breakers are arranged in
draw-out enclosures for ease of maintenance.

MCB Selection
Overload which is intended to prevent the accidental overloading of the
cable in a no fault situation. The speed of the MCB tripping will vary with
the degree of the overload. This is usually achieved by the use of a
thermal device in the MCB.
The second characteristic is the magnetic fault protection, which is
intended to operate when the fault reaches a predetermined level and to
trip the MCB within one tenth of a second. The level of this magnetic trip
gives the MCB its type characteristic as follows:
Type

Tripping Current

Operating Time

Type B ( Domestic)
Type C ( Industrial)
Type D ( Capacitor)

3 To 5 time full load current

5 To 10 times full load current
10 To 20 times full load current

0.04 To 13 Sec
0.04 To 5 Sec
0.04 To 3 Sec

Fuse and MCB characteristics

The fuse and the MCB, even though their nominal
currents are similar, have very different properties.
For example, For 32Amp MCB and 30 Amp Fuse, to
be sure of tripping in 0.1 seconds, the MCB requires
a current of 128 amps, while the fuse requires 300
amps.
The fuse clearly requires more current to blow it in
that time, but notice how much bigger both these
currents are than the 30 amps marked current
rating.
Fuse require replacement after blowing but MCB
only switched on.

Cable Selection

Armoured Cables ( For Out door, under ground)

Unarmoured Cables ( for indoor but open in cable trays)
Submersible cables
Size of Cable ( as per load)
Insulation on cable ( PVC, XLPE)
Core 3 ( where neutral not required) or 3 cable ( where
neutral required)
3 core cable in HT, Motor, capacitor
3 Core in light load,

Insulation over cable

Poly Vinyl Chloride
Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)- Less
deformation below 100C, Lower in cost,
Lower dissipation factor, Lower dielectric
constant, Higher dielectric strength Physically
tougher, More resistant to chemicals, More oil
resistant

LIGHTNING PROTECTION EARTHING

LIGHTNING PROTECTION EARTHING IS
CONCERNED WITH THE CONDUCTION OF CURRENT
DISCHARGES IN ATMOSPHERE ORIGINATING IN
CLOUD FORMATIONS TO EARTH AND IS ESSENTIAL
FOR THE PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS,
TRANSMISSION LINES AND ELECTRICAL
