Description

Voltage Rated Protection


1ph or 3ph current=CB WP or not
(1) Large Pumps (primary pump, sec,..):
all breaker must be MCCB ( SF=1.25) .
(2) Chillers, AHU:
all breaker must be MCCB ( SF=1.25) .
(3) Small pump (jockey, water supply,,..)
all breaker must be MCB ( SF=2.25) .
(4) FCU (CB=16A, 3x3mm2, No 5/linea):
all breaker must be MCB.
(5) Fans (FAF, press, FAN, EX.fan) :
may be 3 ph or 1ph (usually 3ph)
the breaker may be MCB or MCCB according to
its rating, short circuit level
22
(1) Small pump with MCB:
ICB=2.25xIload due to starting current
Ex: 4 kw water supply pump:
Sload =4/0.8=5KVA
ICB=2.25xIload=2.25x4.5x5=50.5
Standard 50A but wire 3x6mm2

23
(2) Split unit:
ICB=2.25xIload due to starting current
Ex: 3 hp AC split :
Sload =3KVA
ICB=2.25xIload=2.25x4.5x3=30.35
Standard 32A but wire 3x4 mm2

24
(3) Fire pump & jockey pump:
Fire pump : ICB= 3xIn (IEC)
ICB=4xIn (EG)
Ex: 50 hp fire pump: ICB=1.5x3x50=225Amp
Standard cable : 250A MCCB fixed
jockey pump:
ICB=2.25xIload due to starting current (MCB)
ICB=1.25xIload due to starting current (MCCB)
Ex: 6 hp AC split :
Sload =6KVA
ICB=2.25xIload=2.25x1.5x6=20.5
Standard 25A MCB but 5x4mm2

25
(4) Fan coil unit (FCU) 1ph:
FCU load= max 330watt/0.8=400 VA
CB=16A,
wire 3x3mm2,
no of FCU per linea=2000/400=5
One FCU per linea is preferred
