This document discusses different types of circuit breakers including high resistance, low resistance, SF6, and minimum oil circuit breakers. It provides details on their construction, working principles, and advantages. The high resistance method works by increasing the arc resistance to reduce current. The low resistance method uses AC current zero crossings to extinguish arcs. SF6 breakers use sulfur hexafluoride gas to absorb electrons in arcs. Minimum oil breakers use a small amount of oil and pressure to quickly extinguish arcs.
