How does a circuit breaker use an electromagnet?

The electromagnet in the circuit breaker is used for instantaneous tripping if short-circuit condition arises. At defined current level the electromagnet develops the force high enough to cause the tripping of the mechanism.


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.

What is the purpose of a seal-in contact?

This is a small electromagnet whose coil is in series with the relay contacts and whose contact is in parallel with them. The electromagnet is energized, closing its contacts in parallel with the relay contact as soon as the trip coil is energized, and drops out when the circuit breaker opens.


Is a circuit breaker a resistor?

No, a circuit breaker is a safety device that is used in a circuit to limit the amount of current in an overload or short circuit condition. The number on a breaker is the top end current that the breaker will handle before opening the circuit.
