To compare the application of medium-voltage circuit breakers and of fused contactors, we must understand the basic characteristics of each switching technology. The below table shows the major characteristics of medium-voltage circuit breakers and medium-voltage fused contactors that influence the application. Of course, the table entries are generalized, and the information varies by the voltage… Read More »
A circuit breaker is a mechanical switching device, capable of making, carrying and breaking currents under normal circuit conditions. It is also capable of making and carrying currents for a specified time and breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions, such as those of a short circuit. Air Blast Circuit Breaker is one of major component… Read More »
