Product details

ACB and VCB are both types of circuit breakers used in electrical systems, but they utilize different mediums for arc quenching. ACBs (Air Circuit Breakers) use air, while VCBs (Vacuum Circuit Breakers) use vacuum. VCBs are generally preferred for higher voltage applications and offer advantages in terms of size, lifespan, and maintenance compared to ACBs.

Frequently asked by buyers

What are the main advantages of VCB over ACB in electrical installations?

VCBs offer a compact design, longer service life, and require less maintenance compared to ACBs. They are better suited for higher voltage applications due to superior arc extinguishing capabilities.

Can ACBs be used for high voltage applications?

ACBs are generally suitable for low to medium voltage ranges up to 1000 V. For higher voltages, VCBs are preferred due to their effective vacuum arc quenching.

What standards do ACB/VCB switchgears typically conform to?

They typically comply with IEC 60947-2 and IS/IEC 62271 standards ensuring safety, reliability, and performance.

How does maintenance differ between ACB and VCB switchgears?

ACBs require moderate regular maintenance due to air insulation which may degrade, whereas VCBs require minimal maintenance as the vacuum environment reduces wear and tear.

Are ACB/VCB switchgears suitable for outdoor installations?

ACBs are primarily designed for indoor use. VCBs can be adapted for both indoor and some outdoor applications based on enclosure design.
