Explain the working principle of Vacuum circuit breaker and
Air circuit breaker

Answer Posted / furqan ahmad

In Vacuum CB, vacuum is the arc quenching medium. Whenever contacts were separated an arc formed between the contacts becoz of high potential gradient. Formation of arc is due ionization of medium between the contacts, as in vacuum CB medium is vacuum hence it can not be ionized but the vapour formed due to hot spots at the contact leads to the formation of arc. After natural current zero this vapours get condensed and arc ultimately extinguished and restriking prevented.

I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.
