text: The working principle of the BOCB says when the current-carrying contacts in the oil are separated, then an arc is generated between the separated contacts.
text: When the fault occurs, the main contacts are separate first, and the current is shifted to the arcing contacts.
text: If a fault is detected on any part of the system, the contacts of the circuit breaker are separated and during this process, an arc is struck between them.
text: When a fault occurs in a circuit, the first main contacts of ACB are separated and current of the circuit is shifted to another contact termed as arching contact.
text: The arcing is only initiated when finally the arcing contacts are separated.
text: The sectional view of vacuum circuit breaker is shown in the figure below when the contacts are separated due to some abnormal conditions, an arc is struck between the contacts, the arc is produced due to ionization of metal ions and depends very much on the material of contacts.
text: The contacts are separated, and an arc is developed between them.
text: During opening of current carrying contacts in a circuit breaker the medium in between opening contacts become highly ionized through which the interrupting current gets low resistive path and continues to flow through this path even the contacts are physically separated.
text: The contacts in a circuit breaker are typically separated using a spring or compressed air.
text: When the contacts are separated the electrical current can create an arch that will heat the contacts considerably.
text: For this reason, it is important that the contact is made with a highly conductive metal capable of withstanding the heat when the contacts are separated, typically copper or silver.
text: Now the arcing contacts are separate, and the arc is drawn between them.
