circuit breaker

05/23/2008 1:16 AM

i want to know the voltage & current ratings of all circuit breaker

such as SF6 cb is used for around 66 kv or even more with very high rupturing current.

in short i want to classify all cb's according to their KV & KA exact ratings

Get a product catalogue from the circuit breaker manufacturer.

The question is not clear. The circuit breakers are not exactly classified basing on voltage or current rating but on the basis of the circuit breaking medium. They are also classified depending up on the functional utility and operational mode.

Based on Medium

1. ACB (Air Circuit Breaker) circuit breaking medium air

2. OCB ( Oil Circuit breakers) circuit breaking medium oil

3. VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker) circuit breaking medium (none)vacuum

4. SF6 Medium of circuit breaking SF6 gas

5.Low voltage circuit breakers depending on size and functional utility.

MCB - Miniature Circuit Breaker

MCCB - Molded Case Circuit Breaker

RCD or RCCB - Residual Current Device .

(Also known as Residual Current Circuit Breaker or RCCB )

RCBO - Residual Current Breaker with Over-current protection

GFCI - Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

ELCB - Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker

Manually operated and Auto re closer type ACB

Manually operated fuse switch unit .

The manufacturers specify voltage and current rating and all other technical parameters as per their design for all types.
