But we have equipped with Distribution panel board system & in this case e.g. suppose connected load is 70 Kw 3 phase, 415 Volt, 50 Hz. Main supply protection SFU is 160 Amp capacity, aluminium bus bar capacity is 25 mm x 3 mm 1 no per line. In this case what capacity MCCB to be selected means 50 KA or 25 KA? & what are the selection creteria? Thanks in advance. DEEP.

Sentronix Posts: 66 Rating: (4)	Hello Deep, As an example you could check the "Planning Manual - Planning with SIVACON S8, Flexible Low-Voltage Switchboard", available on http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/20356391/133300. Chapter 8.10 provides a table showing short-circuit currents of three-phase distribution transformers. These are maximum values on the transformer output. The longer the cable way from the transformer to your panel the lower this value (impedance of the cable). Regards, Sentronix

From the table, existing transformer short circuit currentof transformer is 32,791 (tranformer rating is 1500 KVA) But agin my basic question is what capacity MCCB should I select 25 KAor 50 KA? & why? Thanks & regards, DEEP.
