What is working principle of ACB and VCB?
Answer Posted / n karthikeyan
ACB means "AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER" it is a Electrical power
supply protection equipment when fault occur in the system.
It is used in the Low Voltage application. The power supply
mechanical contacts are kept in the atmospheric air at the
time of fault, the breaker will trip the generated electric
arc ia quenched by the air.
VCB means " VACCUM CIRCUIT BREAKER " it is also same
equipment but used in the High Voltage application ( 11kv -
33kv ), here the power supply mechanical contacts are kept
in the vaccum sealed bottle, the vaccum will quench the arc
at the time faulty trip. The electric arc generation is
high when comparing with the ACB

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
