The most widely used are 30 mA (milliamp) and 100 mA devices. A current flow of 30 mA (or 0.03 amps) is sufficiently small that it makes it very difficult to receive a dangerous shock. Even 100 mA is a relatively small figure when compared to the current that may flow in an earth fault without such protection (hundred of amps)
A 300/500 mA RCCB may be used where only fire protection is required. eg., on lighting circuits, where the risk of electric shock is small.
shunt trip coil used to trip the breaker automatically or manually.
The door interlock prevents the switchboard door from being opened unless the breaker body is in the ISOLATED position. Only when the draw-out handle is removed from the ACB when the ACB is in the ISOLATED position, is the door interlock released and the switchboard door allowed to open. When inserting the ACB back into the carriage, the switchboard door must be closed once the breaker is in the ISOLATED position. When the door interlock is supplied a special draw-out handle is also supplied.

The importance of phase sequence is related to the direction of rotation for a motor. The three phases set up a rotating magnetic field, which runs the motor. Reverse the sequence, and most motors will run backwards, not necessarily a good thing. There really are only two sequences; ABC, and ACB. All other sequences are permutations of one of these.
there is three difference in ACB and MCCB, 1- ACB on off operation is easy as com pair to mccb because acb having charged spring force. 2- acb having much delay time period (category A) and mccb having low time period (category B) 3- the main diffidence is that acb having high raptching capacity and mccb are low.

VCB (vacuum circuit breaker) is used in HV (high voltage) applications. ACB (air circuit breaker) is used in LV (low votage) applications.
Electrical maintenance is used for maintenance of electrical equipment. Electrical Preventive Maintenance is been used for replacement of Low voltage distribution products such as ACB's & MCCB's Contactors and Relays.
Arc developed during closing/opening operation is extinguished by air in ACB and by oil in OCB
College ACB was created in 2008.
Liga ACB was created in 1957.
ACB Lagos ended in 1994.

The length of arc ACB is 57.2.
acb means AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER ,& vcb means VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER
