Description
The Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) is a high-current protective device engineered for medium- to large-scale power distribution. Air Circuit Breaker automatically interrupts power in the event of overloads, short circuits, or faults, while offering precise current setting, fast tripping, and clear indication of status. Built for robust operation in switchgear and switchboards, the ACB provides both automatic protection and manual control, enabling safe commissioning, testing, and maintenance. Typical current ratings range from several hundred amperes to several thousand amperes, with various breaking capacities to suit grid, industrial, and commercial applications. Modern ACBs feature advanced arc quenching, adjustable trip characteristics, selective coordination, and reliable remote signaling options.
