Description
DW1 Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) is a type of circuit breaker that uses air as the medium to quench the arc formed during the interruption of an electrical circuit. It is designed to provide overcurrent and short circuit protection for electrical systems and equipment. ACBs are commonly used in medium to high-voltage applications and in systems with high short-circuit current levels. When an electrical fault occurs in the system, an arc is formed between the contacts of the circuit breaker due to the flow of current. The ACBs design allows the arc to be effectively quenched by the surrounding air, thereby extinguishing it and interrupting the current flow. Air Circuit Breakers find applications in a wide range of industries, including power generation, distribution, industrial plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects. They play a crucial role in safeguarding electrical systems, protecting equipment, and ensuring the safety of personnel.
