What is the Difference Between MCCB & ACB & VCB

Answer Posted / ilononurb

MCCB - molded case Circuit Breaker is for low voltage
application.
ACB - Air Circuit Breaker is for low and medium voltage.
VCB - Vaccum Circuit Breaker is for medium and high
voltage.
Miniature Circuit Breaker MCB is used in industrial and
domistic for low voltage with different current cap. 2 amps
up to 100 amps. this is the combination of HRC fuse and
switch. It is have thermal and magnetic tripping
protection.Which operate in the time of OL and Short
Circuit.

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer? How to enter this field? I need job in PUNE

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
