RE: Rating of MCB

Hi.
1. Load and type of load. Choice of MCB curve : A,B,C,D,K,Z
2. SC on this additional wiring.
3. Selectivity with upstream MCB.
4. Selectivity between upstream MCB ( or MCCB) and new one according to MCB types.I would recommend check table of selectivity of MCB mnf.

Good Luck.
