Wtat is vaccum currcuit breaker.define with cause of
used.and where be use it Devise .

Answer Posted / shahulsnfa

a breaker is normally used to break a ciruit. while
breaking the circuit, the contact terminals will be
separated. At the time of seperation an air gap is formed
in between the terminals. Due to existing current flow the
air in the gap is ionised and results in the arc. various
mediums are used to quench this arc in respective CB's. but
in VCB the medium is vaccum gas. since the air in the CB is
having vaccum pressure the arc formation is interrupted.
VCB's can be used upto 11kv

As per standard, transformer body earthing and other Equipment earthing (Equipment earthing) did not connect. but in LT side termination we are doing metal glanding in both side Transformer to PCC Panel through armoured cable, now X'mer body earthing and PCC Pane earthing (Equipment earthing) both are connect.is this safe for X'mer or other equipment?

When we have earthing mesh or underground earthing network in industrial plants, weather we have NT-S or NT-C-S kind of earthing system, so eventually weather we must use 4 or 5 wire in 400 volt level (For example 3×150+70 mm2 or 5×150 mm2) in this connection I would like to know exactly the paragraph of IEC or IEEE number
