Circuit breaker in substation in Uganda

4 FAQs about [Circuit breaker in substation in Uganda]

What is a circuit breaker in a substation?

A circuit breaker in substation is a key component in electrical power systems, designed to interrupt the flow of electricity when a fault occurs, such as a short circuit or overload. Depending on system design, these devices can operate manually or automatically and come in various types, including air, vacuum, oil, and SF₆ gas.

What is the difference between OBC and SF6 arc Breakers?

Oil (OCB) use insulating oil to suppress arcs. They are more common in legacy systems and require ongoing maintenance due to oil degradation. SF₆: These breakers, employed in high-voltage substations, use sulphur hexafluoride gas for superior arc quenching and insulation.

How does a circuit breaker work?

Circuit breakers form part of a broader substation protection and control system that includes current transformers, voltage transformers, and digital protection relays. When a relay detects an abnormality, it sends a signal to the breaker to open, thereby isolating the faulty section.

What is an example of a hybrid circuit breaker?

Example: In a modern urban substation where space is limited, a hybrid circuit breaker might be used to protect the main incoming feeder. The hybrid design allows for compact installation while providing reliable fault protection and efficient arc quenching.
