V.c.b and a.c.b difference..

Answer / rvr

simply
VCB- vaccum circuit breaker,used up to 35kv,3000A
vaccum quench the arc,long life
ACB-air circuit breaker,660v,10000A
large size,less life and more maintenance compared to VCB.electronically or microprocessor controlled...

boththe above CB's use charging spring to open the breaker
