Definition
Air circuit breaker is a circuit breaker for the purpose of protecting low voltage circuit, mainly for energizing and cutting off high current. It is used as the master of a factory and building, and as a main circuit breaker of a ship, and it is possible to attach various accessories according to the purpose.
Advantages
Air blast circuit breaker is a suitable option to use where frequent operation is required because of lesser arc energy
The risk of fire is eliminated in the operation of Air blast circuit breaker.
Air blast circuit breaker is small in size, because of the growth of dielectric strength is so rapid (which final contact gap needed for arc extinction is very small).
Speed of circuit breaker is much higher during operation of the air blast.
Arc quenching is much faster
The duration of the arc is same for all values of current.
Stability of operation can be maintained and depends on speed operation of circuit breakers.
