Is Max fuse size same as MOCP?
The value of MOCP helps us to determine the maximum size of the over-current protection device i.e., fuse and circuit breaker. MOCP can be used to protect the wire and equipment under anticipated fault conditions. Thus, MOCP or MOP = Maximum Over-Current Protection = Maximum Fuse or Circuit Breaker Rating.
What is MOCP fuse rating?
Chiller motor electrical design From the nameplate information, the Minimum Circuit Amps (MCA, defined as wire sizing Amps) is 414 and the maximum overcurrent protection (MOCP) is a 500 Amp fuse.
What does MCA mean for electrical?
Minimum Circuit Ampacity
Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) for both fan-powered and heater-only products is calculated. with the following equation: MCA = 1.25 x [Motor Rated Current + Heater Current] The “Motor Rated Current” is sometimes referred to as the FLA (full load amps) of the unit.
Is MOCP a breaker size?
The MOCP is the maximum allowable circuit breaker size that will properly disconnect power to the equipment under any anticipated fault condition. As their names indicate, the ratings will tell you the minimum wire size and maximum circuit breaker size allowed for the equipment.
What does MOP mean in electrical terms?
maximum overcurrent protection
The maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) is the maximum circuit breaker size required to properly protect the equipment under anticipated fault conditions. The MOP takes into account startup surges and component aging.
Is MOCP the same as breaker size?
The MCA is the minimum wire size needed to guarantee that the wiring will not overheat under all operating conditions for the life of the product. The MOCP is the maximum allowable circuit breaker size that will properly disconnect power to the equipment under any anticipated fault condition.
Are FLA and MCA the same?
So what is the difference between MCA vs FLA? MCA (Minimum Current Ampacity) is used for conductor sizing to ensure that the wiring does not overheat under normal operating conditions. FLA (Full Load Amps) is the amount of continuous current that a running motor will consume and what we use in our load calculations.
What is MCA and mop electrical?
To recap, the MCA is the minimum wire size needed to guarantee that the wiring will not overheat under all operating conditions for the life of the product. The MOP is the maximum allowable circuit breaker size that will properly disconnect power to the equipment under any anticipated fault condition.
How is mop calculated?
The MOP is calculated from the date you collect the keys to your flat. It excludes any period where you do not occupy the flat, such as when the whole flat is rented out or when there has been an infringement of the flat lease.
