What is the difference between a Vacuum Circuit Breaker and
a Load Break Switch?
Answer Posted / amin
All of the above posts stating that the function is the
same are technically WRONG.
A Load Break Switch is designed to ONLY interrupt a circuit
under "normal" operating conditions. They are NOT or
intended designed to interrupt fault current! Even if
designed to automatically open (motorized), they must have
fuses in the circuit to interrupt the fault first and the
let-through current of the fuses must be coordinated to
stay below the load interrupt rating of the LBS.
A circuit breaker is designed to interrupt fault current,
and acts as an alternative to fuses. So a CB is both a LBS
and a Fault Interrupter.

I am designing new project sub station with 220 kV / 11 kV, 40 MVA capacity. This project have many recifier sets, which can generate 3rd harmonics. Now I have to select vector group of This transformer. To minimise 3rd harmonics, what care should I take in selection of Transformer Vecrtor group? If it is Y-Y with open Delta tertiary then what should be the rating & voltage of Tertiary Winding?

I don't understand why when we connect high voltage source in DC to electronic motor , we must add capacitor and resistor in parallel ? (I know that we use capacitor because we want to absorb the current that in the first second electronic motor in opposed with current course produce. ) what are the feature of Resistor and in such situation ?
