hi dude !! The following are the most important criteria for selecting the optimal MCB /MCCB for protecting a DC system: ● The rated current determines the power rating and the frame size of the circuit breaker ● The rated voltage determines the number of series-connected poles required for switching off ● The maximum short-circuit current at the connection point determines the breaking capacity ● The type of network determines the circuit design( TN - TT - IT etc)Answer to your question The rated current values are the same for both DC and AC applications. In AC circuits, arc quenching is facilitated by the fact that the current flows through the zero point. These preconditions aren't true for DC. For this reason, a high arc voltage must be developed to interrupt the direct current. Therefore, the switching capacity depends on the arc quenching method and the network voltage. Several switching contacts can be connected in series in order to achieve a higher arc voltage. Furthermore, the kind of effects that are to be expected in the event of a ground fault or double ground fault must also be taken into consideration.
