4. What are the limitations of superposition theorem and Thevenin’stheorem?


Sol. Limitations of superposition theorem
(i) This theorem cannot apply to obtain the power generated or dissipated across the element
(as power is non-linear)
(ii) This theorem is applicable only when there is at least two independent power sources.
Limitation of Thevenin theorem
This theorem is applicable for active, linear and bilateral circuit only.

35. What is MCB and what are it’s applications?

36. What is MCCB and how does it differ from MCB?


MCCBs (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker) are used in high energy requirement regions such as
high-power equipment in industries or commercial purpose.
The major MCB and MCCB difference are due to their capacity.
 MCBs have a rating under 100 amps with an interrupting rating under 18000 amps and
their trip characteristics cannot be adjusted as they cater low circuits.
 MCCBs, on the other hand, have adjustable trip characteristics, and they are used in high
circuits and give high amps as 2500 amps to low as 10 depending upon the requirements
and their interrupting rating ranges from 10000 to 200000 amps.
