Describe how rating of main switch, motor switch DB and cable is decided in industrial
c)
installation.
Ans: (Reason of main switch:2 Marks & Reason of main switch B & cable : 2 Mark)
1. Reason of Main Switch or Fuse Rating is decided in industrial installation:
 Rating of main switch or fuse is based up the starting current of motor.
 For calculating starting current is considered 2 times that of full load current,.
Thus main switch is decided.
 If number of motors are there, then main switch is decided from following
formula.
Incoming current = Starting current of highest rated m/c + Full load current remaining all m/c
Thus from incoming current main switch is decided
2. Reason of Cable Rating is decided in industrial installation:
 The current rating of cables for supply to motor is based up on the normal full
load current of motor considering the overload capacity 50%
 We take 1.5 times the rated current or full load current. & thus cable rating is

Assuming height of Ceiling if 3 m from the floor.
Motor is installed 1 M away from the nearest wall.
Height of Main Switch is 1.2 M from the floor
Step No. 1:- The out power of induction motor = 10 x 735.5 = 7355 W-------- (1/2 Mark)
Step No. 2:- Input power of I. M = output power of I M / efficiency of IM motor.(1/2 Mark)

Q.6 Attempt the following : 04 Mark

Decide rating of main switch, DB, Motor switch and starter for following load.
a)
i) 1HP, 3-Ph Sq.cage IM, IFL = 5A ii) 3 HP, 3-Ph Slip ring IM, IFL = 8A
Ans: (Rating point -2 Mark and Procedure – 2 Mark)

Ratings of main switch, DB, Motor switch and Starter are decided by the following
points:-

 Type & Capacity of motor which is used in the installation.

 Supply providing to the motor which is used in installation.
 Power factor of the motor.
 Future expansion.
 Starting surge, over load and momentary short circuit on the motor.
i) Rating for 1HP, 3-Ph Sq.cage IM, IFL = 5A :-
Total power  Total H .P  735.5
