Any one can explain if there is any harm from humming noise
heard from air circuit breaker : we have 415 switch board
having two incomers from transformers 3.3KV/415V , when bus
coupler closed, and open one ACB incomer to work in one of
the transformers, the current started hunting around 50
Amps, and heard humming noise from the air circuit breaker,
although the load current was only 1200 amps while the ACB
capacity is 2500 Amps, and the transformer 1600 KVA. The
same didn't happen when taken the other transformer offline.
Why this humming noise and current fluctuation? is there
any implication or danger, bearing in mind that we just
returned everything back to normal and stopped the
maintenance of the transformer. Shall we go ahead and
ignore this noise?

First of all do you know what is the reoson for using
Circuit breaker in electrical equipment/device means it
will protect the device whenever the fault occurs it will
trip the breaker or open the contacts ( fixed /moving
contacts).And you told that there is some humming sound is
there in CB that means it will harm the equipment (may
chance to fire) just you need to check whether all the
contacts/connections in the breaker/device is tightly
connected by loose connections also you getting these type
of errors/faults even tho the current rating is samall (
you told 50A)
You need to check:
1.Tightness (mandotary)
2.Check the calibration of the equipment
2.Check the technical specification (i know you already
checked before installing)
Go ahead dont stop the work if you are still getting sound
means u just repalce the breaker unless why u r taking risk.
