Answer / bibhu

VCB- This is known as Vacuum Circuit Breaker. In this
breaker vacuum is used as insulator and as an arc-quenching
medium VCB also used as a high voltage control switch. There
is no oil. Therefore will not occurring any fire problems in
this kind of circuit breaker. Vacuum circuit breakers in
particular are useful for controlling and protecting
electrical systems. Vacuum circuit breakers offer many
advantages as compared to other types of circuit breaker.

ABCB- This is known as Air Break circuit Breaker.ABCB is
used against very high current. Air circuit breakers are
commonly used in electrical distribution systems. Air
circuit breakers which include operating mechanisms that are
mainly exposed to the environment. ABCB is also protecting
for over load, short circuit and earth fault. Most of air
circuit breakers are use in indoor type substations.

Before i went to bed my master bathroom lights were working fine. At 2 am, when I went to use the lights, none of them were working. The outlets throughout the bathroom work, but the lights and fan above the toilet don't. I have two panels of switches. The one panel has four switches. One of the switches turns on the hall light, and that works. The other three are to other lights, and they don't. The other panel has three switches. One of those is to the fan, and the other is to a light above the toilet. The other is a to light that is also on that other panel. I tried the breakers, and the one that turns off the outlets, marked for the bathrooom, turns on and off the outlets. None seemed to be tripped. I checked the lightbulbs, and they are fine. Please help
