Load Calculation MCB - Earth Bondhon

The document discusses how to calculate the proper size of wire and MCB for an electrical circuit. It explains that you must first determine the total load on the circuit by adding up the wattages of all devices. You then calculate the current and select an MCB rated higher than the current. For example, a circuit with five 22W LED lights, totaling 110W, would have a current of 0.6A, so a 6A MCB would be suitable. You should calculate MCB sizes separately for each individual circuit in a home. The document also lists standard MCB ratings and explains how to divide electrical loads into branches when wiring a home or office.

How to calculate the size of wire and MCB


To calculate the scale of associate degree correct MCB is extremely crucial as per the planning
purpose of read. For an easy calculation, we must always recognize the particular load on the given
circuit. for instance, if we’ve got five Nos twenty-two Watt LED on a circuit, the full load on the circuit
are a hundred and ten Watt. these days Lights square measure continuous load i.e. the variety
issue is one.

Actual load on a circuit are = a hundred and ten X diversity issue = a hundred and ten W

Current flowing within the circuit = 110/ (Voltage X PF) = zero.6 Amps

We have MCBs of rating 6Amp, 10 Amp, 16 Amp, 32 Amp.

Since the present rating is zero.6 Amp we’ll select a half dozen Amp MCB in this case. it’s easy,
isn’t it? thus next time you are trying to calculate the scale of MCBs for your home, calculate MCBs
for one by one circuit. it’ll be terribly straightforward to try and do in this manner.

To decide the quantity and kinds of MCB/ ELCBs in your office/ home, you need to put in writing the
quantity of electrical instrumentation utilized in your premises. Then begin dividing them into totally

different electrical branches (on the premise of your wire size calculations and cost-effectiveness).
Example 01
For example, suppose one building has 07 rooms with following equipment in each room.

How do I choose my current MCB rating


For MCB it is fixed while in MCCB the rated current is an adjustable range instead of a fixed value.
Standard rating of MCB is 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 6A, 10A, 13A, 16A, 20A, 25A, 32A, 40A, 50A, 63A, 100A
for MCB
