Electrical Thumb Rules

Current rating of Transformer / Generator (I)    KVA  X  1.4   Impedence of  Transformer  (Z)  5 %   Short circuit rating of Transformer    Current Rating / % Impedence  =  I / Z   No Load Current of Transformer < 2 % of rated current of Transformer   Impedence of Generator...

Electrical Engineering Thumb Rules

Earthing Resistance:   Earthing Resistance for Single Pit=5Ω ,Earthing Grid=0.5Ω As per NEC 1985 Earthing Resistance should be <5Ω. Voltage between Neutral and Earth <=2 Volts Resistance between Neutral and Earth <=1Ω Creepage Distance=18 to 22mm/KV (Moderate Polluted Air) or Creepage Distance=25 to 33mm/KV (Highly Polluted Air)   Minimum Bending...

Choice of a circuit-breaker

Choice of a circuit-breaker   The choice of a CB is made in terms of:   ·         Electrical characteristics of the installation for which the CB is intended ·         Its eventual environment: ambient temperature, in a kiosk or switchboard enclosure, climatic conditions, etc. ·        ...

Low Voltage Circuit Breakers

Based on IEC 60947-2 (LV switchgear and controlgear - Part 2: Circuit breakers):   In (Rated current)   The rated continuous / uninterrupted current that the circuit breaker can carry.   Icm (Rated short-circuit making current)   The short-circuit current that the circuit breaker can withstand as it is closing where the act of closing initiates the...
