Why is DC use instead of AC for protection and control circuits?..

Answer / maddoxx

in control and protection ckt very small current is require in relays ,cb etc .The panel is placed far from the work place.so if we use small ac current there may be chance of interference by communiation frquency and signaling it also produces noise which can too interfere in other sognalling freq. so dc current there is no frequency and we can increase the accuracy and sustain the strenth of signal coming to controlling panel.

Answer / tahirwasim10

Protection of a system is very necessary factor which
require fast response during faults. For protection of a
power system the D.C used instead of A.C because there are
many problems in A.C ( quantities variation problems, slow
response problems etc).

Any one can explain if there is any harm from humming noise heard from air circuit breaker : we have 415 switch board having two incomers from transformers 3.3KV/415V , when bus coupler closed, and open one ACB incomer to work in one of the transformers, the current started hunting around 50 Amps, and heard humming noise from the air circuit breaker, although the load current was only 1200 amps while the ACB capacity is 2500 Amps, and the transformer 1600 KVA. The same didn't happen when taken the other transformer offline. Why this humming noise and current fluctuation? is there any implication or danger, bearing in mind that we just returned everything back to normal and stopped the maintenance of the transformer. Shall we go ahead and ignore this noise?
