circuit breaker is a switch that turned off when there is a short circuit
AnswerAn air circuit breaker is a high-voltage circuit breaker whose tripping and closing mechanisms are (usually) operated pneumatically, and whose arc is extinguished by a blast of air -hence the alternative name 'air-blast circuit breaker'.When the current flowing in the circuit exeeds the limit set,the circuit breaker operates and opens the circuit.
AnswerAn air circuit breaker (ACB) is a high-voltage outdoor circuit breaker which uses air pressure to (1) trip the circuit breaker and (2) break the resulting arc. They are used for voltages of 33 kV and upwards.
The tripping mechanism is a pneumatic, piston-driven, arrangement. In the simplest case, it operates by rotating an enclosed vane which then drives the contacts by means of a rack-and-pinion mechanism.
As the resulting arc stretches between the opening contacts, a blast of air is directed across the arc to stretch/cool it and, thus, extinguish it.
This device is protecting over load current.ACB is mostly used for MV panel and LV panel.
In air circuit breaker air is medium of arc quenching it has vanes when contact is open arc is quench in the vanes.

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.
Yes. Due to their higher current requirements it is recommended that air conditioners be connected to their own dedicated circuit and thus have their own circuit breaker.
An air circuit breaker, or air-blast circuit breaker, is a type of circuit breaker used in high-voltage transmission/distribution systems. It uses compressed air to (a) operate its tripping mechanism, and (b) to extinguish the arc created by a fault current. A miniature circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker used in low-voltage applications, such as the protection of lighting and power circuits in a domestic residence. It uses a spring to operate its tripping mechanism, and relies on the speed of operation to extinguish the arc created by a fault current. Apart from the fact they are both designed to interrupt a fault current, there is really no other similarity.
There are three coils in Air circuit breaker.. 1.Solonoid coil 2.Moving coil 3. fixed coil
About a tenth of a ton.
There are various to check if your air circuit breaker working. You can use various tools that are available to test your air circuit breaker. A clamping ammeter is ideal for this purpose.
It is possible if the circuit breaker has tripped or is faulty. The best way to check is by unplugging the air conditioner, and plugging in a table lamp. If the lamp lights up, then you know that the circuit breaker is working, if not then it is faulty.
You may be referring to an air circuit breaker or, more accurately, and air-blast circuit breaker. This is a type of high-voltage circuit breaker in which the electrical arc, drawn when it opens, is stretched and snapped by a blast of air directed between the separating contacts -so the air is used as a method of extinguishing the arc. Often, these breaker's mechanisms are also driven by compressed air.
They are completely different. A moulded-case circuit breaker is a low- or medium-voltage device, whereas an air circuit breaker is a very large circuit breaker designed for use in high-voltage transmission/distribution substations.
acb means AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER ,& vcb means VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER

"Air" and "Vacuum" describe how the breaker extinguishes the arcing current. An Air breaker opens far enough that the dielectric strenght of air is enough to extinguish the arc. A vacuum breaker's contacts are in a vacuum. Oil breakers use oil. SF6 breakers use SF6 gas to extinguish the arc.
