Bulk Oil Circuit Breaker

The document summarizes two types of circuit breakers: a bulk oil circuit breaker and a vacuum circuit breaker. The bulk oil circuit breaker uses mineral oil to extinguish arcs, with all parts submerged in oil inside a tank. It has a rated current of 23A and breaking capacity of 68kV. The vacuum circuit breaker uses vacuum as an insulating medium instead of oil, allowing for lighter moving contacts and faster operation. Upon contact separation, an arc is produced in the vacuum but cannot sustain itself and extinguishes when current reaches zero.

BULK OIL CIRCUIT BREAKER

 I visit oil circuit breaker. It was bulk oil circuit breaker.


 In this C.B oil is used for arc extinction all parts of this C.B are immersed in
oil. The oil is used for C.B is mineral oil. It has highly dielectric strength.
 Its rated current capacity is 23 A.
 Its breaking capacity is 68 kv.
 It was made rexroure company.
 It was connected at 66 Kv line.
 Its construction is contains of tank. The oil and all parts of C.B covered by
tanks.
 The moving contacts connected by a piston and piston moves up and down
with the tension rod. The tension rod and piston immersed in oil completely.
 The fixed contact connected with copper conductor. The bushing is used for
passes the conductor under their middle holes. The bushing made by insulator
that one connected in series with each other.
 The two bushings connected with conductor and conductor is connected with
fixed contact.
 There is also a cover provided around the fixed contact called arc control
device.
 In normal condition the fixed and moving contacts closed with each other and
arc control device covered both contacts.

WORKING
 In normal condition fixed and moving contact are tough with each other and
current passes through these contact and C.B work regularly.
 When fault across then are produced between contacts and due to arc pressure
the both contacts separate with each other then some oil flow between
contacts and oil will covert into gases due to heat of arc. These gases also
between both contacts. These gases moves upward and store in upper space
of oil C.B.
 During this process the more quantity of oil flow between contacts and it
becomes increases dielectric strength of medium between contacts. When
dielectric strength of medium becomes increase then arc will not strike and
due high value of resistance the flow of current will be stop and arc will be
extinction in this position the C.B will be tripped and disconnect the supply
path to given circuit.

Vacuum circuit breaker:


 The vacuum C.B is a superior dielectric and good medium of arc extinction.
 There is no need of extra medium to arc extinction.
 Moving contacts have slightly weight.
 During operating process the moving contacts covered distance only some
millimeter.
 There is a some quantity of energy for operating mechanism.
 The mechanical pressure on contacts gets from spinning.

Working
 In vacuum C.B when contacts separates each other then arc will be produced.
This C.B use vacuum is a best dielectric.
 The arc can not remains in a best vacuum.
 During the separation of contacts the absorb gases becomes ionize due to
heating on the contacts the contacts material provides charge partial due to
field emission. This charge partial increase process of arc.
 When current becomes zero then arc will also extinction and medium gets
the dielectric strength and vapor density becomes to minimum.
Construction
 The outer envelope is made glass due to jointing it to metallic end caps and
glass enveloped also provided the faculties from out side protection. if its
color becomes white from its original finish of silvery mirror, then it indicator
that baffle is losing to vacuum.
 A splitter shield made of stainless steel, placed between conducts, this also
prevent metal vapor reaching the envelope. Inside suppter shield there are two
contacts one fixed and other is moving. The moving contact short distance
with respect to operating voltage.
 Metallic bellows used to move the moving contact.
 The moving contacts fix with spring.
 The metallic bellows moves upward and downward during opening and
closing operation.

11Kv Busbar Outgoing C.B:


 It is made of PEL PAK LAHORE PAKISTAN.
 Date of installation 14/07/2002.
 Rated 12Kv.
 Breaking capacity 25KA.
 Weight 143 Kg.
