Circuit Breaker
• Electrical circuit breaker is a switching device
which can be operated manually as well as
automatically for controlling and protection of
electrical power system respectively.
• The circuit breaker mainly consists of fixed contacts
and moving contacts. In normal "on" condition of
circuit breaker, these two contacts are physically
connected to each other.
Circuit Breaker Control Circuit(trip
Circuit)
What is Arc ?
• During opening of current carrying contacts in
a circuit breaker the medium in between opening
contacts become highly ionized through which the
interrupting current gets low resistive path and
continues to flow through this path even the contactscontinues to flow through this path even the contacts
are physically separated.
• During the flowing of electric current from one
contact to other the path becomes so heated that it
glows. This is called arc.
Formation of Arc
• Thermal ionization (due to increase in
temperature)
• Ionization due to Electron Collision• Ionization due to Electron Collision
Whenever free electrons come across a strong electric
field, these are directed towards higher potential
points in the field and acquire sufficiently high
velocity.
Methods of Arc Interruption
• High resistance method
we can increase the electrical resistance many times
to such a high value that it forces the current to reach
to zeroto zero
• Low resistance method
The arc gets extinguished at the natural zero of the ac
wave and is prevented from restricting again by rapid
building of dielectric strength of the contact space.

Air Blast Circuit Breaker
• Air blast circuit breakers employ a high pressure air as an
arc quenching medium.
• The opening of contacts are done by a flow of air blast
established by the opening of blast valve (located between
air reservoir and arcing chamber ).
• The air blast sweeps away the arching products in to the
atmosphere.
• Thus the dielectric strength of the medium is increased,
prevents from re-establishing the arc.
• The arc get extinguished and flow of current is interrupted.
Types of Air Blast Circuit Breaker
The circuit breakers are classified on the basis
the direction of air blast to the arc. They are
classified into :
• Axial Blast Type
• Cross Blast Type
Axial Blast Type
air blast is directed along the arc path.
Working of Axial Blast CB
Cross Blast Type
air blast is directed at right angles to the arc path.

  • 1. Presentation on Basics of Circuit Breaker & Its Types By, Rohini Haridas Assistant Professor, Dept of Electrical Engineering, SSGM College of Engineering,Shegaon
  • 2. Circuit Breaker • Electrical circuit breaker is a switching device which can be operated manually as well as automatically for controlling and protection of electrical power system respectively. • The circuit breaker mainly consists of fixed contacts and moving contacts. In normal "on" condition of circuit breaker, these two contacts are physically connected to each other.
  • 3. Circuit Breaker Control Circuit(trip Circuit)
  • 4. What is Arc ? • During opening of current carrying contacts in a circuit breaker the medium in between opening contacts become highly ionized through which the interrupting current gets low resistive path and continues to flow through this path even the contactscontinues to flow through this path even the contacts are physically separated. • During the flowing of electric current from one contact to other the path becomes so heated that it glows. This is called arc.
  • 5. Formation of Arc • Thermal ionization (due to increase in temperature) • Ionization due to Electron Collision• Ionization due to Electron Collision Whenever free electrons come across a strong electric field, these are directed towards higher potential points in the field and acquire sufficiently high velocity.
  • 6. Methods of Arc Interruption • High resistance method we can increase the electrical resistance many times to such a high value that it forces the current to reach to zeroto zero • Low resistance method The arc gets extinguished at the natural zero of the ac wave and is prevented from restricting again by rapid building of dielectric strength of the contact space.
  • 7. Principle used in Air Break Circuit Breaker
  • 9. Air Blast Circuit Breaker • Air blast circuit breakers employ a high pressure air as an arc quenching medium. • The opening of contacts are done by a flow of air blast established by the opening of blast valve (located between air reservoir and arcing chamber ). • The air blast sweeps away the arching products in to the atmosphere. • Thus the dielectric strength of the medium is increased, prevents from re-establishing the arc. • The arc get extinguished and flow of current is interrupted.
  • 10. Types of Air Blast Circuit Breaker The circuit breakers are classified on the basis the direction of air blast to the arc. They are classified into : • Axial Blast Type • Cross Blast Type
  • 11. Axial Blast Type air blast is directed along the arc path.
  • 12. Working of Axial Blast CB
  • 13. Cross Blast Type air blast is directed at right angles to the arc path.
