What is the ACB circuit breaker?
The letters ACB stand for Air Circuit Breaker. These types of circuit breakers are used for high voltage switching. The breakers are usually enclosed in steel switch gear enclosures that are situated in electrical service vaults.
What is meant by tp and tpn circuit breakers?
The difference of TP and TPN in circuit breakers is the ability of the switch to hold a neutral position. With TPN, a neutral switch position is not possible. With TP, the breaker can be held in a neutral position.
What is the role of a switch?
A switch is installed in a circuit to stop the current flow. Without the switch there is no way to disconnect the operation of the circuit's load. In modern households the switch is a convenient way to control room lighting from a convenient location. Without switches the circuit power would have to be controlled from the service distribution panel's breakers. In this scenario the breaker would be in the same class as a switch.
Is a circuit breaker an alternative fuses?
Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
Where can you find a general switch type GDP 200 amp breaker?
Any electrical supplier should be able to get that for you. Check you local Yellow Pages for electrical suppliers. <<>> A GDP 200 is an older type breaker that was manufactured by General Switch. It had a 10KAIC (interruption capacity). This type of distribution panel was used 40 to 50 years ago. The main breaker is almost next to non existent. The main breakers were manufactured by a different company and General Switch used them in their panels. You might look on EBay under electrical breakers. The original branch circuit breakers are also hard to find but some different brands will fit. There are some sites on the net that refurbish old breakers for your type of scenario. Safety wise it is not a good idea to mix and match breakers. You might want to consider budgeting for a distribution panel change.
Are cutler hammer breakers interchangeable with American switch breakers?
Your circuit box should have a label on the door listing compatable breakers. For instance, my American Switch 200 amp panel lists what American Switch breakers are usable on that particular panel, and then it goes on to list other manufacturers whose breakers will work in the panel. Mine can use Frank Adam Type A, FA-D, QP & QPH, Bryant Type BR-D and BD breakers as well as Westinghouse Type QP and Q. I am not sure that I would go with the adage that if it fits use it. Check your Panel Box for the tag listing compatible breakers.
What is the symbol of circuit breaker?

How works oil circuit breakers?
A circuit breaker is a safety device that is put in an electrical circuit. When something fails, or shorts out, the circuit breaker "senses" the excessive current and automatically opens (or breaks) the circuit. They are used in homes, as well as some electrical devices. They are different than a fuse in that a circuit breaker can be reset. A fuse on the other hand, has to be replaced once it opens up.
