What is an Oscillators?


Oscillator Definition


An oscillator is a circuit that converts direct current from a DC source into a continuous alternating waveform, typically without any external input.

Causes and Preventive Measures of Fire and Explosion in Oil Circuit Breakers
Causes and Preventive Measures of Fire and Explosion in Oil Circuit Breakers
Causes of Fire and Explosion in Oil Circuit Breakers When the oil level in an oil circuit breaker is too low, the oil layer covering the contacts becomes too thin. Under the effect of the electric arc, the oil decomposes and releases flammable gases. These gases accumulate in the space beneath the top cover, mixing with air to form an explosive mixture, which can ignite or explode under high temperature. If the oil level inside the tank is too high, the released gases have limited space to expan
