Answer / reshi
Circuit Breaker is used to isolate the power supply to the
equipment and avoid any damaged to the equipment during
the short circuit or overload.
Circuit breaket are of two types magnetic trip &
adjustable trip type.In adjustable there is the option of
adjusting the breaker to trip intantaneously or taking
short time or taking long time on crossing the particular
values.There are many types of MV Circuit Breakers.
1.Air Circuit Breakers
2.Vaccum Circuit Breaker
3.Oil Circuit Breakers
and in LV :
1. MCCB moulded case circuit breaker
2. MCB miniature circuit breaker
3. ELCB earth leakage circuit breaker.
