Answer Posted / mohammad farman khan
While opening and closing the breaker the arc occures
between the contacts of the breaker. To resist the arc and
to protect contacts some arc quenching medium is used. In
ACB air and in VCB vaccume is used as arc quenching medium.
VCB= VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER and use for medium voltage
RATING 630A to 1250 A
ACB= Air circuit Breaker and use for LV side from 1600A to
3200A.

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
