Circuit Breakers
Vacuum Circuit Breaker(VCB)
• The technology is suitable for mainly medium voltage
switchgear application.
• Vacuum offers the highest insulating strength. So it has far
superior arc quenching properties than any other medium (oil
in oil CB, SF6 in SF6 circuit breaker).
• The degree of vacuum is in the range from 10^-7 to 10^-5 torr.
Principle of Vacuum Circuit Breaker
• When the contacts of the breaker are opened in
the vacuum an arc is produced between the
contacts by the ionization of metal vapors of
contacts.
• However, the arc is quickly extinguished because
the metallic vapors, electrons, and ions produced
during arc rapidly condense on the surfaces of
the circuit breaker contacts, resulting in a quick
recovery of dielectric strength.
Construction of Vacuum Circuit
Breaker
• It consists of fixed contact, moving contact and arc shield
mounted inside a vacuum chamber.
• The movable member is connected to the control mechanism
by stainless steel bellows. This enables the permanent sealing
of the vacuum chamber so as to eliminate the possibility
of the leak.
• A glass vessel or ceramic vessel is used as the outer insulating
body.
• The arc shield prevents the deterioration of the internal
dielectric strength by preventing metallic vapors from falling
on the inside surface of the outer insulating cover.
Vacuum Interrupter
• Interrupter contacts as a key part made of copper – chromium
(CuCr) material with spiral shape have low contact wear
characteristics and withstand voltage is excellent.
