What is the difference between Load Break Switch and Circuit Breaker?

∙ 8y ago
There are two important different parameters as far as the disconnection/connection of Electrical utilities is concerned.
- Breaking capacity.
- Making Capacity.
In simple way the Load Break Switch used to cut off healthy circuits or to break / disconnect the load. As a precaution, normally the LBS / Isolator are to be switched on under no load, the connected load to be utilized after switching on the Isolator. This why it has no making capacity. Circuit Breakers are intended to operate under unnormal conditions in order to clear the fault & to isolate the defective circuits protecting its associated electrical equipment, therefore breaking and making capacities are considered as the most important criteria as far Circuit breaker are concerned.

How can you tell if your motor centrifugal switch is bad?
I cannot be 100% certain that the centrifugal switch on my table-saw motor is bad, but here are some symptoms that I recently experienced: 1) The motor starts fine, but the motor-start capacitor begins smoking (bad sign) while the motor is running. I think this means the switch is sticking closed in this case. 2) Other times, the motor does not want to start at all. If I slacken the drive belt, the motor starts spinning. When it gets up to speed, I can tighten the belt and go ahead and use the saw. In this case, I think the switch is sticking open. I first experienced symptom #1, which led me to believe I had a bad capacitor. I replaced it, but after a few uses, the new capacitor also smoked. Then I noticed symptom #2. After doing a little web snooping, I have nearly concluded that the problem is the centrifugal switch. Just not sure yet how to get to it or find a replacement. . . Bucky K in Ohio
Why to engineers use metric?
Engineers are fluent in both U.S. Customary and SI units. Given a choice on units,most engineers will choose SI units simply because the unit conversions are so much easier. However, since most of the U.S. still operates in terms of feet, gallons, and BTUs, the engineer must also be able to operate in U.S. Customary units and able to switch back and forth between the two.
