An electrical power system very complex. It Cancel Download is And Print needs some form of switchgear in order that it may be safely and efficiently controlled or regulated under both normal and abnormal operating conditions. conditions. Circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch. It protects an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload and short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow.

Cancel Download And Print Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then has to be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. It can be of various size , from small device that protects the appliances of an household to large to protect the entire city.

AIRBLAST CIRCUIT BREAKER

These type of breakers employ ‘air blast’ as the quenching medium. Cancel Download And Print The contacts are opened by air blast produced by the opening of blast valve. The air blast cools the arc and sweeps away the arcing products to the atmosphere. This rapidly increases the dielectric strength of the medium between contacts and prevents from re-establishing the arc. So the arc is extinguished and the flow of current is interrupted.

In order to print this document from Scribd, you'll first need to download it. Cancel Download And Print The risk of fire is eliminated. The arcing products are completely removed by the blast The growth of dielectric strength is so rapid that final contact gap needed for arc extinction is very small. This reduces the size of device. The arcing time is very small due to the rapid build up of dielectric strength between contacts Due to lesser arc energy, ABCB are very suitable for conditions where frequent operation is required The energy supplied for arc extinction is obtained from high pressure air & independent of the current to be interrupted
