A vacuum breaker is a mechnical device used to avoid backflow or a negative pressure in a Plumbing system.
It typically consists of an air valve with a spring holding it closed. When the pressure within the system is positive, the valve remains closed. When the pressure is negative (less than atmospheric), the negative pressure overcomes the force of the spring holding the valve closed and the it opens, typically allowing normal atmospheric air to enter the system, thereby eliminating the negative pressure. Otherwise, the negative pressure might cause backflow of the plumbing system.

Yes.
acb means AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER ,& vcb means VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER
In a vacuum breaker the moving contact and fixed contact are sealed inside a vacuum chamber. Electrons cannot flow in a vacuum, therefore as soon as the moving contact seperates from the fixed contact the arc meets an infinite resistance and is immediately extinguished. Because of this, the gap between the fixed and moving contacts when the breaker is open need only be a tiny amount.
Is a breaker whose contacts are in vacum cylinder. this done so the contacts will not be burnt and destroyed by the electrical arc draw while opening under load.Used in high voltage and high amp conditions.
it is mainly provided to save the difram of lp turbine, it is initially use to seal d vacuum's.
That would depend on the application as there are many uses and shapes and specifications for a vacuum breaker
A vacuum breaker does not allow back flow into the potable water system A syphon breaker is normallly installed on a tank that there is a possibility of the tank imploding
"Air" and "Vacuum" describe how the breaker extinguishes the arcing current. An Air breaker opens far enough that the dielectric strenght of air is enough to extinguish the arc. A vacuum breaker's contacts are in a vacuum. Oil breakers use oil. SF6 breakers use SF6 gas to extinguish the arc.
A vacuum breaker is a device that prevents water in a toilet cistern or water tank, from syphoning back into the toilet cistern or water tank.
Yes.
A vacuum breaker is usually installed at the top of a vertically-mounted drain pipe leading to a drain. The water drainage hose from an appliance such as a dishwasher or washing machine should never be plumbed directly into a drain stand pipe without a vacuum breaker. The vacuum breaker prevents contaminated water from the drain being sucked back into the appliance if it has a fault.
A vacuum circuit breaker is a high-voltage circuit breaker whose contacts separate within a vacuum dielectric. The vacuum contributes to extinguishing the resulting arc because ionisation cannot take place while the arc is stretched between the separating contacts.
Some faucets have a built in vacuum breaker that can not be removed. Many have a srew on type, it usually has some hex screws on the side to keep it from being removed. Loosen the hex screws, and the vacuum breaker should screw off. Righty tighty lefty loosey.

Same as any sink. The vacuum breaker installs in the backwash unit. Just plumb in hot & cold, and plumb out a drain line.
Replace it.
