A breaker which used vacuum as an arc extinction medium is called a vacuum circuit breaker. In this circuit breaker, the fixed and moving contact is enclosed in a permanently sealed vacuum interrupter. The arc is extinct as the contacts are separated in high vacuum. It is mainly used for medium voltage ranging from 11 KV to 33 KV.

The working principle of a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) is to isolate the contact when faults occur in the system and to extinguish the arc generated within the vacuum, during the operation. When the fault occurs in the system, the circuit breaker opens its contact in order to isolate the system as faster as possible.

Principle of Vacuum Circuit Breaker. The production of arc in a vacuum circuit breaker and its extinction can be explained as follows : When the contacts of the breaker are opened in the vacuum (10 -7 to 10 -5 torr), an arc is produced between the contacts by the ionization of metal vapors of contacts. However, the arc is quickly extinguished ...
