Working principle of air circuit breaker?

circuit breaker is a switch that turned off when there is a short circuitAnswerAn air circuit breaker is a high-voltage circuit breaker whose tripping and closing mechanisms are (usually) operated pneumatically, and whose arc is extinguished by a blast of air -hence the alternative name 'air-blast circuit breaker'.


What is a Circuit breaker and explain type circuit breakers?

A circuit breaker is a switching device which can make,brake and carrying (or trip the circuit) that specified over currents for a small interval of time . There is a different types of Circuit Breaker's are there 1.According to their arc quenching media these are divided into 4 types a) Oil circuit breaker b) Air blast circuit breaker c) SF6 circuit breaker d) vacuum circuit breaker 2. According to their services the circuit breaker can be divided as a) Outdoor Circuit Breaker b) Indoor Breaker 3. According to the operating mechanism of circuit breaker they can be divided as a) Spring operated Circuit Breaker b) Pneumatic Circuit Breaker c) Hydrolic Circuit Breaker 4. According to the voltage level of installation these are divided into 3 types a) High Voltage Circuit Breaker b) Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker c) Low Voltage Circuit Breaker.


Do air conditioners need there own circuit breaker?

Yes. Due to their higher current requirements it is recommended that air conditioners be connected to their own dedicated circuit and thus have their own circuit breaker.

What are the differences between a Miniature Circuit Breaker and normal Circuit Breaker?

An air circuit breaker, or air-blast circuit breaker, is a type of circuit breaker used in high-voltage transmission/distribution systems. It uses compressed air to (a) operate its tripping mechanism, and (b) to extinguish the arc created by a fault current. A miniature circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker used in low-voltage applications, such as the protection of lighting and power circuits in a domestic residence. It uses a spring to operate its tripping mechanism, and relies on the speed of operation to extinguish the arc created by a fault current. Apart from the fact they are both designed to interrupt a fault current, there is really no other similarity.

What is difference between VCB and ACB?

VCB (vacuum circuit breaker) is used in HV (high voltage) applications. ACB (air circuit breaker) is used in LV (low votage) applications.


What is the difference between Air circuit breaker and Vacuum circuiut breaker?

"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.


What is air circuit?

You may be referring to an air circuit breaker or, more accurately, and air-blast circuit breaker. This is a type of high-voltage circuit breaker in which the electrical arc, drawn when it opens, is stretched and snapped by a blast of air directed between the separating contacts -so the air is used as a method of extinguishing the arc. Often, these breaker's mechanisms are also driven by compressed air.


What is the difference of a Circuit Breaker from an Air Circuit breaker?

They are completely different. A moulded-case circuit breaker is a low- or medium-voltage device, whereas an air circuit breaker is a very large circuit breaker designed for use in high-voltage transmission/distribution substations.


How do you work air circuit breaker?

There are various to check if your air circuit breaker working. You can use various tools that are available to test your air circuit breaker. A clamping ammeter is ideal for this purpose.


What is the difference between oil and an air circuit breaker. please could you answer with detail as i am confused?

Arc developed during closing/opening operation is extinguished by air in ACB and by oil in OCB


What is the difference between Draw-out and Fixed-air circuit breaker?

A drawout breaker has two parts (base and breaker). The base is wired to the load frame and bolted in. The breaker slides in and out of the base, and connects physically and electrically to the base (so it's easy to rack out for maintenance). A fixed mounted circuit breaker is bolted directly to the enclosure and wired to the load frame.
