Explain the working principle of Vacuum circuit breaker and
Air circuit breaker

Answer Posted / saju

normally the contacts of CB are closed,when a fault occurs
these contacs are pulled apart hence an arc will be formed,
this arc has to be quenched for successfull
operation.circuit breakers are classified in different
ways,one of the ways is according to the arc quenching
medium.in air circuit breaker the arc quenching medium is
air,and in vaccum circcuit breaker it is vaccum

Is there a possibility to use such a treshold voltage for the NMOS part of a CMOS circuit that during the switching it will start conducting only after the PMOS part will be already closed, by this eliminating the leakedge current? Please note, I'm not asking about the well bias in standby mode, but about the "antileakedge" measures during normal operation.
