    Question

    A circuit breaker normally operates-

    A.

    Whenever a fault occurs in the line

    B.

    When the power is to be supplied

    C.

    When the switch is to be put on

    D.

    When the line is to be tested

    Correct option is A

    · Circuit breaker usually operates when there is a fault in the line. Circuit breaker is a mechanical device which has the ability to close and open the circuit under normal and abnormal conditions.
    · When the circuit breaker is closed it acts as a short switch, thus, the impedance of an ideal circuit breaker should be zero before interruption.
    · When the circuit breaker is open it acts as an open switch thus the impedance of the ideal circuit breaker after the interruption should be infinite.
    · Rating of circuit breaker is in MVA.
