Current Transformers are used to supply a ratio of the current flowing through the breaker to equipment such as protective relays and meters. If the CTs are used for protection, they are placed around a breaker to provide different, ideally overlapping, zones of protection.

What devices are used to deliberately create an open circuit when the current exceeds a specific value?
fuses or circuit breakers
Which type of circuit breakers used in railway applications in India?
Vacuum circuit breaker is used in railway applications and as it is used in the applications where current chopping phenomenon is more
Where circuit breaker are used?
Circuit breakers do not use anything, they are a controlling device. They can automatically open the circuit if the current exceeds the current rating and you can manually disconnect the power from the circuit.
Which type of circuit breakers used in EHT applications?
SF6 circuit breaker
What is the function of a summation current transformer?
Current transformers are used to measure electric currents. When current in a circuit is too high to directly apply to measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments.
Circuit breakers are used for what?
Circuit breakers prevent excessive current from flowing in the circuit by "tripping" when the current exceeds the circuit breaker rating. This causes the current to be cut off, and is used to protect the wiring as well as the appliances.
What devices are used to deliberately create an open circuit when the current exceeds a specific value?
fuses or circuit breakers
How are substations protected?
Almost all of the equipment inside of a substation is used for the purpose of protection. The circuit breakers and power transformers in the substation are equipped with current transformers (CTs) that step down the current passing through the equipment to a level that can be read by protective relays. These protective relays can cause the breakers to trip upon many different events including under/overvoltage, current spikes, frequency issues, transformer/bus differential, etc. The breakers in a substation are placed strategically so that different pieces of equipment or sections of a circuit can be isolated without loss of service to the customer.
What is use of bushing in transformer?
A bushing is a hollow insulator, used with transformers and circuit breakers. It provides a means by which an energised conductor can pass from the outside to the inside of the transformer or circuit breaker.
Which type of circuit breakers used in railway applications in India?
Vacuum circuit breaker is used in railway applications and as it is used in the applications where current chopping phenomenon is more
3 pole circuit breakers?
3 pole circuit breakers are used for 3 phase lines
Where circuit breaker are used?
Circuit breakers do not use anything, they are a controlling device. They can automatically open the circuit if the current exceeds the current rating and you can manually disconnect the power from the circuit.
How do you connect current transfomer and voltage transformer in switch gear?
Current and voltage transformers are not 'connected in' switch gear. These instrument transformers are used to monitor the currents and voltages in a high-voltage system, in order to operate protective relays. In the event of electrical faults, it is these protective relays that act to trip the appropriate switchgear to disconnect the fault. This is done by applying a d.c. voltage to switchgear's trip coil, which disengages the trip mechanism. Having said that, CTs are sometimes fitted around the bushings of circuit breakers to monitor the current flowing through the circuit breakers, so that the load currents can be measured.
What do tripped breakers and blown fuses indicate?
Blown fuses indicate overload in the electrical circuit. Possible short-circuit or higher input voltage.Tripped circuit breakers I guess means:A residual-current device (RCD), similar to a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) which is used for breaking the circuit when electric current pass through a man or could cause fire/burning in the/near the electrical sockets.
What is the meaning ampere protection?
Amperes refer to the current in an electrical circuit. Ampere protection is rarely used but it refers to current protection. Typically this will relate to protection against over current events with fuses or circuit breakers.
Is gold used in circuit breakers?
Certainly not in the case of high-voltage circuit breakers. Probably not in low-voltage circuit breakers, as copper is a better conductor and has a higher melting point.
What objects are bimetallic used in?
Circuit breakers.
