Feeders are conductors which connect the consumers with the sub-station. Tapings to feed current to the consumers are NOT taken from the feeders. Therefore, its current loading remains the same along its entire length. Instead, Tapings to each consumers are taken from the DISTRIBUTORS, whose current loading varies along its length.

What is different between feeder breaker and motor breaker?

You have to be careful with terms in the electrical field, Example: Main Feeder Circuits will feed a Transformer for distribution and each of those main circuits might feed numbeous Motor control centers. However each of those circuits could be called a main feeder for the motor control center. Confusing. We have High Voltage Transmittion tansformered down for Distribution. So normally a Feeder Breaker will feed Main circuits that will be used for distribution. Example Your home panel will have a main feeder circuit to the whole panel and distribution breakers to you home.

What is electrical feeder?

Feeders are commonly used to supply power to or from a radio antenna. A feeder can be a pair of parallel wires with closely controlled spacing (twin-wire feeder), or a single wire inside a hollow cylindrical conductor (coaxial feeder. <<>> In Canada the electrical term "feeder" is usually used incorrectly as a substitution for the terms wire or conductor. It is correctly defined is, any portion of an electrical circuit between the service box or other source of supply and the branch circuit over current devices. In the U.S. of A, a feeder definition taken directly from the National Electrical Code: All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.

How many feeder you can use for chiller?

One feeder will do the job. The definition of a feeder in the electrical trade is a set of conductors that supply a source to a load. The sizing of the feeders will depend on what the load current is. The wire count of the feeder will be dependant upon whether the load is single phase or three phase.
