What is a 16 amp MCB used for?
What is a 16 amp MCB used for?
16amp MCB’s are generally used on dedicated Freezer Circuits, and Immersion heaters circuits in the home.
What is a 20 amp MCB used for?
The purpose of the MCB rating is to protect the cables by preventing them from carrying a current greater than they can handle under fault situations. The current carrying capacity of 2.5mm cable ranges from 18 – 27 amps (depending on circumstances) therefore a 20amp breaker would be fine in most situations.
What size MCB for 2.5 mm cable?
2.5MM IS OK FROM A 32AMP MCB BECAUSE IT IS PROTECTED DOWNSTREAM BY A 13aMP FUSE!
How much load can a 32 amp MCB take?
Calculate Size of Main ELCB & Brach MCB of Distribution Box
| Size of MCB/ELCB | ||
|---|---|---|
| Current (Amp) | Lighting Load MCB/ELCB (Amp) | Heating/Cooling/Motor-Pump Load MCB/ELCB (Amp) |
| 25.0 | 32 | 32 |
| 32.0 | 40 | 40 |
| 40.0 | 45 | 45 |
What is a 40 amp MCB used for?
An MCB is an automatically operated electrical switch. Miniature circuit breakers are intended to prevent damage to an electrical circuit as a result of excess current. They are designed to trip during an overload or short circuit to protect against electrical faults and equipment failure.
What size MCB do I need for a cooker?
The manufacturer recommends 32amp mcb for cooker. Second response states I can run up to 15kw on 6mm cable. That does seem quite a lot. If both fan ovens on at same time, just want things to be safe, but as I say future proof.
How do I calculate MCB size?
Size of MCB for Branch Circuit-8:
- Load Current of Motor-Pump = (No X Watt X Demand Factor)/(1.732XVolt ) =(1X746X0.
- Branch Circuit-8 Current as per NEC =Non Continues Load+125% Continues Load.
- Branch Circuit-8 Current as per NEC =(0.60)+125%(0) =0.60Amp.
- Type of Load=Motor-Pump Type.
- Class of MCB=C Class.
- Size of MCB=16 Amp.
