In VCB, The two contacts are present in a vaccum, When there is a fault these contacts are forced to open resulting arch ,as all we know arch does not flow through Vaccum so it extinguishes thus vcb seperates two circuits.

Most modern circuit breakers 2400 volt through 38kV are vacuum where the contact open in a vacuum bottle. Since there is no air in a vacuum, there is no carbon build up or arc to extinguish.

What is a non auto circuit breaker?
A non-auto circuit breaker is a circuit breaker with the trip element removed. Basically, it is a modified circuit breaker that is now a disconnect switch (glorified disconnect switch).
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What is the metal piece on the circuit breaker preventing it from tripping?
A circuit breaker is designed so that it will trip when the electric current is too high. That is the purpose of a circuit breaker. If there is a metal piece on the circuit breaker that prevents it from tripping, it is useless. Perhaps someone has altered it.
Where is the circuit breaker for a hot water heater?
The best way to determine which circuit breaker is for the water heater is with a voltage meter, It is suppose to be only one circuit breaker, but in a faulty application it could be two breakers
What are the differences between a vacuum breaker and a SF6 gas circuit breaker breaker and a sf6 gas circuit breaker?
vcb is have vaccume and sf6 cb is filled with sf6 gas which will have good arc quencing property
What is a Circuit breaker and explain type circuit breakers?
A circuit breaker is a switching device which can make,brake and carrying (or trip the circuit) that specified over currents for a small interval of time . There is a different types of Circuit Breaker's are there 1.According to their arc quenching media these are divided into 4 types a) Oil circuit breaker b) Air blast circuit breaker c) SF6 circuit breaker d) vacuum circuit breaker 2. According to their services the circuit breaker can be divided as a) Outdoor Circuit Breaker b) Indoor Breaker 3. According to the operating mechanism of circuit breaker they can be divided as a) Spring operated Circuit Breaker b) Pneumatic Circuit Breaker c) Hydrolic Circuit Breaker 4. According to the voltage level of installation these are divided into 3 types a) High Voltage Circuit Breaker b) Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker c) Low Voltage Circuit Breaker.
