Air-blast circuit breakers are used to disconnect high-voltage transmission or distribution circuits in the event of a fault. One circuit breaker is required for each of the three line conductors; there is not normally a neutral conductor in high-voltage three-phase transmission/distribution lines.
"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.

VCB is Vacuum Circuit Breaker. It is one of the type of Circuit breaker. In VCB arching chamber is vacuum instead of oil or such arc quenching media. Its function is to break the circuit automatically in case of fault or to isolate the circuit under normal situation also.
The VCB yard us basically a yard that uses the Vacuum Circuit Breaker.
In VCB, The two contacts are present in a vaccum, When there is a fault these contacts are forced to open resulting arch ,as all we know arch does not flow through Vaccum so it extinguishes thus vcb seperates two circuits.
acb means AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER ,& vcb means VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER

The size of a vacuum circuit breaker is typically determined by its rated voltage and current carrying capacity. The size can be calculated based on the specifications provided by the manufacturer, taking into account factors such as breaking capacity, short-circuit withstand capability, and insulation levels required for the specific application. It is important to consult the manufacturer's guidelines and technical data to ensure the correct sizing of the vacuum circuit breaker for a particular installation.

A vacuum circuit breaker is a high-voltage circuit breaker whose contacts separate within a vacuum dielectric. The vacuum contributes to extinguishing the resulting arc because ionisation cannot take place while the arc is stretched between the separating contacts.
A vacuum breaker uses a vacuum to extinguish the arc when interrupting a circuit, while a SF6 gas circuit breaker uses sulfur hexafluoride gas. SF6 gas circuit breakers can handle higher voltages and currents compared to vacuum breakers. SF6 gas circuit breakers are also more environmentally harmful due to the greenhouse gas SF6, while vacuum breakers are considered more eco-friendly.
To reset a circuit breaker on a shop vac, first unplug the machine. Locate the circuit breaker on the power cord or the vacuum itself and press the reset button. If the breaker doesn't reset, check for any obstructions or issues with the vacuum that may be causing the problem.
In a vacuum breaker the moving contact and fixed contact are sealed inside a vacuum chamber. Electrons cannot flow in a vacuum, therefore as soon as the moving contact seperates from the fixed contact the arc meets an infinite resistance and is immediately extinguished. Because of this, the gap between the fixed and moving contacts when the breaker is open need only be a tiny amount.

Vacuum circuit breaker is used in railway applications and as it is used in the applications where current chopping phenomenon is more
