What is the Difference Between MCCB & ACB & VCB

Answer Posted / navneet kumar

MCCB"Moulded Case Circuit Breaker" is based on expension of
bimetalic strip due to thermoelectric effect.

In ACB "Air circuit breaker" two contact seperate by the
force of spring in air.

In VCB "Vaccum Circuit Breaker" two contact seperate by
force of spring in Vaccum.

However, The application of all MCCB, ACB and VCB are same
i.e. to isolate the faulty circuit from healthy one.
