Benefits of Siemens-Allis Circuit Breaker and Its Importance in Industry
Dec 6th 2016
Circuit breakers are an essential part of the air-insulated (AIS) and gas insulated (GIS) switchgear. High voltage switchgear are mechanical switching devices that connect and break current circuits (operating and fault current) and carry the nominal current in the fault position. Siemens is a world market leader in circuit breakers that are able to meet the economical, environmental conditions in various countries.
Siemens-Allis circuit breakers are used worldwide in a variety of

Benefits of Using Vacuum Circuit Breakers in Industries
Sep 4th 2016
Vacuum circuit breakers are used as
switchgear in high voltage applications. In these types of circuit breakers,
the quenching takes place in a vacuum. The equipment uses the vacuum
interrupters to break the current supply and protect any equipment, appliances,
etc., from power surges or overloads. The
service
life of vacuum circuit breakers
is longer than conventional circuit
breakers, and they need almost no maintenance. Vacuum circuit breakers are
considered ideal for industri

Role of Switchgears in Power Systems
Sep 3rd 2016
Switchgears are used in power systems to
protect against any short circuits, spikes, and overload of current. The term
is commonly used to refer to various electrical disconnection equipment in a
circuit such as fuses or circuit breakers that help isolate the electrical
equipment.
The role of switchgear in power systems can
be understood by looking at its functions, which are:

Where Do We Need Air and Vacuum Circuit Breaker?
Sep 2nd 2016
Air and vacuum circuit breakers are among
the commonly used devices for additional safety when operating an electrical
circuit. Air circuit breakers are typically used in low voltage applications
(i.e. less than 660 volts), and vacuum circuit breakers can handle higher
voltages at up to 15KV or more. Both are compact, but the vacuum circuit
breaker tends to be smaller and occupies less space. Here is an overview of the
two and their respective applications:
