Hello people,
I have an assignment to create an electronic circuit but I'm not an electronics specialist. Therefore i'm looking for some help.
First of all - here's some information: the electronic circuit I have to design should consist of 4 terminal blocks that are connect to main power supply from local electric network via 16 A circuit breakers. Then I have a set of devices that should be connected to the terminal blocks via their separate power supplies, controllers, and circuit breakers.
The problems arise when I need to choose and put circuit breakers into my scheme. The key problem is that I simply have no idea how to choose them. Most of the devices I need to connect into those 4 smaller circuits have labels on them stating only VAC supply,but the only circuit breaker amperage determination i know is to dived the maximum power of a device by the maximum VAC value on the label and multiply by 1.25. Is there another way to find out the amperage of a circuit breaker I need?
Anyway that's only the first of my problems, but I think solving this would really get me going further.
Sorry if my English is hard to follow, I'm not really a native speaker.
Thank you in advance
