Q

How do you determine discrimination when using both a circuit breaker and fuse?

A

A fuse and circuit breaker combination where the fuse is upstream and the circuit breaker is downstream shall be selected such that the characteristics of the devices provide discrimination between the overload curve and the instantaneous setting or short delay setting of C2 and the time-current curve for F1.

36
Q

If you have an enclosure with 3 MCBs to each supply 22A loads, with a 40*C ambient temperature, would 25A be suitable?

A

No, required to use 32A due to temperature de-rating

37
Q

2 - Using resistance and reactance only for cables bigger than 120mm2 and resistances only for cables 120mm2 or less. (b5.2.2)

3 - Using resistance and reactance only for cables bigger than 35mm2 and resistances only for cables 35mm2 or less. (b4.3)

4 - Using resistance and reactance for all components (transformer, mains, submains).

38
Q

Prospective fault current on equipment is usually marked in what value?

A

kA

39
Q

What is fault loop impedance?

A

A low enough circuit impedance that will draw a high enough current to operate the protective device within the required time

Q

Impedance that is downstream of a protective device is considered to be what?

A

Internal

45
Q

The fault path of an earth fault after the MEN link will be via what conductor? Why?

A

Neutral, PEN - because of larger cross-sectional area, meaning less resistance

46
