How a circuit breaker works

How a  circuit breaker works

Operation 

            All circuit breaker systems have common features in their operation. Although details vary substantially depending on the voltage class, current rating and type of the circuit breaker.

The circuit breaker must detect a fault condition; in low voltage circuit breakers this is usually done within the breaker enclosure. Circuit breakers for large currents or high voltages are usually arranged with protective relay pilot devices to sense a fault condition and to operate the trip opening mechanism. The trip solenoid that releases the latch is usually energized by a separate battery, although some high-voltage circuit breakers are self-contained with current transformers, protective relays and an internal control power source.

Once a fault is detected, the circuit breaker contacts must open to interrupt the circuit; some mechanically-stored energy (using something such as springs or compressed air) contained within the breaker is used to separate the contacts, although some of the energy required may be obtained from the fault current itself. Small circuit breakers may be manually operated, larger units have solenoids to trip the mechanism, and electric motors to restore energy to the springs.

The circuit breaker contacts must carry the load current without excessive heating, and must also withstand the heat of the arc produced when interrupting (opening) the circuit. Contacts are made of copper or copper alloys, silver alloys and other highly conductive materials. Service life of the contacts is limited by the erosion of contact material due to arcing while interrupting the current. Miniature and molded-case circuit breakers are usually discarded when the contacts have worn, but power circuit breakers and high-voltage circuit breakers have replaceable contacts.

What is synchronous machine

What is synchronous machine

Synchronous Machines

    The synchronous machines are the a.c machines. The a.c producing synchronous machines are called alternating generator or alternators. As these machine produce a.c voltage commutator is absent. Another important difference between a.c. and d.c machines is that in a.c machines the field winding is on the rotor while the armature is on stator . As field winding is rotating the d.c voltage is supplied to it with the help of slip ring and brush assembly .

principle and operation of a dc motor

principle and  operation of a dc motor

     The principle of operation of a d.c motor can be stated in a single statement as when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field it experiences a mechanical force . In a practical d.c motor field winding produces a required magnetic  field while armature conductors play a role of a current carrying conductors and hence armature conductors experience a force. As conductors are placed in the slots which are on the periphery, the individual force experienced by the conductors acts as a twisting or turning force on the armature which is called a torque. the torque is the product of force and the radius at which this force acts. So overall armature experiences a torque and starts rotating.
