What is a Circuit Breaker?A circuit breaker is basically a switch to interrupt the flow ofcurrent.
It opens on relay command.
It has to handle large voltages and currents.
The inductive nature of power system results in arcingbetween the terminals of a CB.
CBs are categorized based on the interrupting mediumused.
