PROTECTION
Fuse
Semi-enclosed rewirable fuse
The detachable fuse carrier permits the
replacement of fuse element without any
danger of coming in contact with live
parts.
The cost of replacement is negligible.
High-Rupturing capacity (H.R.C.) cartridge
fuse
They are capable of clearing high as well
as low fault currents.
They do not deteriorate with age.
They have high speed of operation.
Isolator
Arc
Circuit Breaker
Electrical circuit breaker is a switching device which can be
operated both manually and automatically for controlling and
protection of any electrical power system.
During interruption of huge current, there would be large arcing
in between switching contacts, so care should be taken to
quench these arcs in circuit breaker in safe manner.
The dielectric strength of the media in between contacts can be
increased in numbers of ways, like by compressing the ionized
arcing media since compressing accelerates the deionization
process of the media, by cooling the arcing media since cooling
increase the resistance of arcing path or by replacing the ionized
arcing media by fresh gasses.
Classification (H.T.)
Oil circuit breakers which employ some insulating oil (e.g.,
transformer oil) for arc extinction.
Bulk oil circuit breaker.
Minimum oil circuit breaker.
Classification (L.T.)
Air Circuit breaker
Miniature circuit breaker
Moulded case circuit breaker
Earth leakage circuit breaker
Top chamber
It is a metal chamber and is mounted on the circuitbreaking chamber. It provides expansion space for the
oil in the circuit breaking compartment.
