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).

What is mean by auto re-closer in high voltage breaker?

Many high-voltage overhead line faults are temporary in nature -e.g. a branch hitting a line conductor during a storm. An 'autorecloser' mechanism is designed to automatically reclose a circuit breaker after it has tripped. If the fault has cleared itself, then the circuit breaker will remain closed; if not, the autorecloser mechanism can be set to reclose the circuit breaker several times (typically 3) before, finally, locking the circuit breaker open. Autoreclosers are often used in conjuction with 'sectionalisers'; these are non-load breaking switches which will disconnect sections of line towards the end of a feeder, in the hope that any fault has existed beyond that point and will be cleared before the autorecloser recloses the circuit breaker.


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

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.
