What is the meaning of rated power frequency withstand voltage?
The r.m.s of sinusoidal power frequency voltage that the equipment can withstand during tests under specified conditions and for a specified time
What does BIL basic insulator level really mean and its differences with Impulse withstand voltage and power frequency withstand voltage?
BIL is basic insulation level as per you or in other words it would be "basic impulse level" which implies the limit up to which an insulator could withstand impulse due to lightning strikes. Impulse is generated on the insulation due to the high voltage surges and spikes due to lightning strikes. BIL is generally much higher as compared to power frequency withstand voltage. In other words BIL is lightning Impulse withstand voltage. Impulse withstand voltage is the voltage that is generated due to switching operation and it's much higher than power frequency withstand, but BIL or the lightning withstand voltage is a the voltage level that an insulation can withstand during surge or lightning strikes.
What is the difference of a Circuit Breaker from an Air Circuit breaker?
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.
Can 11kv breaker be installed on 6.6kv line?
Yes. But,circuit breaker are usually rated in terms of current they can interrupt,not the voltage.
What is the effect on the voltage gain of the circuit if different frequency values were to be used?

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 restriking voltage and recovery voltage?
Restriking Voltage : it is the transient voltage that exists during the arcing time. ( natural frequency kHz ). Recovery Voltage : it is the rms voltage after final arc extinction. ( normal frequency 50 or 60 Hz). both voltages appear between circuit breaker poles.
What is the meaning of rated power frequency withstand voltage?
The r.m.s of sinusoidal power frequency voltage that the equipment can withstand during tests under specified conditions and for a specified time
What is power frequency withstand voltage test?
A test done on a transformer. The voltage at the power frequency is ramped up to verify the transformer is capable of handling the stresses due to switching and natural phenomena (lighting strikes).Withstand Voltage:The voltage which has to be applied to a test object under specified conditions in a "withstand test" is called the "withstand voltage".
What is the role of a breaker in a circuit?
the breaker makes sure that nothing in the circuit is damaged by an increased amount of amperage or voltage

What are the three main types of high voltage switching gear met with in industrial installations?
High voltage switch gear operates in the voltage range of 36 kV and above. Minimum oil circuit breaker, air blast circuit breaker and SF6 (Sulphur hexafluoride) circuit breaker are the three mostly used disconnects for high voltage switchgear.
Do you have a circuit breaker which operates for one millon volts?
Circuit breakers operate on current not voltage.
Define recovery voltage in circuit breakers?
It is the transient voltage that appears across the contacts of the circuit breaker at or near the zero current instant during arcing period. A high frequency transient voltage appears across the contacts and is caused by the rapid distribution of energy between the magnetic & electric field associated with the station & transmission lines of the system at the zero current. This transient voltage is known as restriking voltage.
High voltage will trip a circuit breaker?
A higher voltage means that a higher current will flow in the same load. It is the current that causes the breaker to trip.
Why do you need to know voltage of a breaker?
Breakers and other electrical equipment are rated in voltage so you know what voltage they can withstand. The breaker could fail and start a fire if you apply a higher voltage than it is rated for. Breakers are actually rated in amps (current in excess of this will trip it), interrupting rating (how many amps the breaker can handle during a short circuit) and in volts (is the difference of potential or the pressure that is pushing the current). The breaker I am looking at is rated for 15 amps, 10,000 amps interrupting rating and 120/240 volts.
