A factory is experiencing frequent MCCB trippings due to fluctuating loads. If the current rating for their MCCB is 250 A and the average load can temporarily spike up to 300 A due to motor starts, what considerations should be made for the adjustable trip settings?
💡 Hint: Consider the adjustments needed to avoid nuisance tripping.
If an MCCB has a thermal tripping characteristic defined as 6-10 times its rated current, how would you calculate whether it will trip with a load drawing 800 A if the rated current is 100 A?
💡 Hint: Remember to find the threshold range based on the rated current.
