Circuit breaker for Chiller
Circuit breaker for Chiller
(OP)
Hello,
The catalog of a chiller says: "Nominal Current 600A". It is protected by an 800A C.B.
But then a few liens below, they say: Maximum Current (under Maximum Input Power???) 814 A. Must i change the C.B to 1000A? I think this value can mean a sustained current, what do you think?
Another question please: is the Rated Load Amps (RLA) = Nominal Current? and is the Locked Rotor Amps (LRA) the starting current and how much time does it take to go down to RLA?
