Air has less quenching effects when a breaker breaks on load or on a fault. Air circuit breakers are not suggested for very high rating current and high voltage application. It is ok for Low voltage application. Oil is cumbersome to use and maintain. But Hv or EHV application oil is used for breaker quenching application.

These days SF6 or vacuum circuit breakers are more popular for HV, EHV application.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Eiffel programming language?

Eiffel is known for its strong emphasis on software reliability and maintainability, featuring design by contract, which enhances program correctness through explicit contracts for classes and methods. Its object-oriented nature promotes code reuse and modularity. However, disadvantages include a smaller community and ecosystem compared to more popular languages, which can limit available libraries and resources. Additionally, the learning curve can be steep for those unfamiliar with its unique syntax and concepts.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fuses?

On the advantage side, fuses are simple, easy, no maintenance required and low cost if compared to circuit breakers. They will clear a fault quicker than a breaker, trip curve not affected by ambient air temperature. On the disavantage side, fuses may cause single phasing and motor failure and they need replacement after every fault clearing.
