what is diffrances between fuse and breaker protection?
which one is best?

Answer Posted / aamirali

Fuse and Breaker both are used for protection against short ckt current. Fuse is used for low voltage protection say homes, shops, hospitals, schools etc. While ckt breaker is used for mostly high voltage side say factories, substations, power grid, whole buildings etc.

If we use ckt breaker instead of fuse it is not economical, maintenance & operating is not easy also rating. Fuse is easy to operate in low voltage side.

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
