Circuit breakers are used to protect the conductor that is connected to it. The sizing of the conductor is based on the current of the load. As the connected load current is increased so must the wire size to accommodate that higher current. Therefore as the wire size increases so must the breaker size to accommodate the higher load current.

Make motor circuit how to calculate range of MCB?

To calculate the range of an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) for a motor circuit, you need to consider the full load current of the motor in amps and select an MCB with a rating above this value to ensure it can handle the starting current and any potential overload conditions without tripping. It is recommended to select an MCB that is rated at least 1.5 times the full load current of the motor to provide a safety margin and prevent nuisance tripping.
