Air Circuit Breaker Symbol

The main points of contacts are made in the shape of two horns.

Air circuit breaker symbol.

This symbol represents circuit breaker with three poles. It operates in air where air blast as an arc quenching medium at atmospheric pressure to protect the connected electric circuits. Air circuit breaker acb air circuit breaker acb is an electrical protection device used for short circuit and overcurrent protection up to 15kv with amperes rating of 800a to 10ka. Its primary function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

The air circuit breakers are mostly of three types and are widely used for maintaining the indoor medium voltage and switch gears of the home. It connects three phases whenever there is an overload or short circuit in any phase the circuit breaker trips all three phases simultaneously. Circuit breakers symbols for use in electrical pneumatic and hydraulic schematic diagrams. Unlike a fuse which operates once and then must be replaced a circuit breaker can be reset either manually or automatically to resume.
