What is the basic principle of circuit breaker?..
I read that it works on electro-mechanical principle...
Does it require both electric n magnetic conversion to act?

Answer Posted / jairaj shetty

a circuit breaker , in its simplest form is a thermo
electric device . when the rated current is exceeded , the
thermal device , made up of bimetallic strip heats up and
bends , thus tripping the mechanically spring loaded
switch .
the other form of electro magnetic circuit works by
activating a magnetic relay instead of a bi metallic trip
device .

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
