- Low Voltage Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) are electrical devices designed to provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection for electrical circuits.
Category:
They are widely used in low-voltage power distribution systems, typically in the range of 400 volts to 6,600 volts. ACBs are essential components in electrical distribution panels, switchboards, and power distribution centers.
Here are some key features and aspects of air circuit breakers:
Functionality:
ACBs are designed to interrupt the flow of electrical current in the event of overloads or short circuits.
They can be manually operated or automatically tripped based on the magnitude of the current flowing through the circuit.
Arc Quenching:
One of the critical functions of a circuit breaker is to extinguish the electrical arc formed during the interruption of current. ACBs use air as the medium for arc quenching.
The arc is drawn into the arc chute, and the surrounding air is used to cool and extinguish it.
