why circuit breaker closing time is always higher then
tripping / opening time.
Answer Posted / krishnakumar
The circuit breaker is used for protection purpose and the main function is to trip(open its contacts) when relay gives the trip command.the tripping of breaker will isolate the healthy phase from faulty phase.if the tripping time is more t,then the fault will be present for more timing and this will damage the whole system.so the breaker should operate at high speed in order to protect the system.so,the tripping timing should be less.but in case of closing of breaker,there is no need as such as tripping at fault condition.and there is another phenomenon called bouncing that makes the timing increased than tripping time.if the timing is less for closing,then the breaker moving contact moves very fast towards the fixed contact and so the bouncing will be more due to the high speed.this is also a reason for more closing time

Haw to check conductivity of budbar
In a power conditoining unit (inverter) of a solar plant when we measure the d.c. current fed by different strings of solar plates to inverter, the current in the negative wire is less almost by 1 ampere to the current in its positive wire say current in positive wire 5 A , then current in negative wire of the same string is 4 A. Since the current entering should be equal to current leaving then why the current is noticably less in negative wire.
