Main Components of Single Phase Distribution
System

• MCB -
Monitors the current and breaks the current during overload or
short circuit. This one is used for low power applications.

• MCCB –
Same operation as MCB, but used for high current applications
specially in commercial and industrial applications.

Neutral MCB
MCB Characteristics – Tripping Curve

1. Tripping of overload protection (Thermal tripping device):


The higher the current, the shorter the tripping time

2. Tripping of short-circuit protection (Magnetic tripping device):


If the current exceeds the threshold of this protection device, the
breaking time is less than 10 milliseconds

MCB Working Principle
B, C & D Type MCBs - Exercise

Ex 01: A residential electrical panel has a total connected load of 6000 watts. A
20-ampere MCB protects the panel. Determine whether the MCB is
appropriately sized for the load and can handle it safely.
(Hint: P = VI can be used)
B, C & D Type MCBs - Exercise
Ex 01: A residential electrical panel has a total connected load of 6000 watts. A 20-ampere MCB protects
the panel. Determine whether the MCB is appropriately sized for the load and can handle it safely.
(Hint: P = VI can be used)

Ans: P = VI
I = P/V
I = 6000/ 230
I = 26.1 A

20 MCB is not sufficient for the protection of the given equipment. Since that, it is better to use a 30A rated
MCB.
B, C & D Type MCBs - Exercise
Ex 02: Do the required calculations and identify the suitable MCBs for each electrical item.
Circuit 01 - 4 Fluorescent bulbs
Circuit 02 - 1 Refrigerator
Circuit 03 - Air Conditioner
Circuit 04 - TV

Item Power (W) Demand Factor

Fluorescent Bulb 20 0.6

Refrigerator 600 1

Air-Conditioner 3 kW 1

Television 100 0.6


B, C & D Type MCBs - Exercise
Answers :

Circuit 01 - P = No of Items x Power x Demand Factor = 4 x 20 x 0.6 = 48 W


I = P/V = 48/ 230 = 0.21 A

Circuit 02 - P = No of Items x Power x Demand Factor = 600 x 1 = 600 W


I = P/V = 600/ 230 = 2.6 A

Circuit 03 - P = No of Items x Power x Demand Factor = 3000 x 1 = 3000 W


I = P/V = 3000/ 230 = 13 A

Circuit 04 - P = No of Items x Power x Demand Factor = 3000 x 1 = 3000 W


I = P/V = 3000/ 230 = 13 A

RCD monitors the current different between the live and
neutral and disconnects the power

Human Body Current Repones
Imperceptible: Slightly
Muscular Contraction:
Muscle contraction is the activation
of tension-generating sites within
muscle cells.
Ventricular Fibrillation:
Ventricular fibrillation is a type of
irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
During ventricular fibrillation, the
lower heart chambers contract in a
very rapid and uncoordinated
manner. As a result, the heart
doesn't pump blood to the rest of
the body.

AC current (15 – 100Hz) affects the human body when it passes from the left hand to the feet.
