FAQ
Q: What inspections should be performed after a short-circuit fault in a vacuum circuit breaker?
A:
Check contact erosion: Minor erosion is acceptable (cumulative wear ≤3mm), but replace the vacuum interrupter if damage is severe. Test switching time and synchronization: Ensure values meet specifications to prevent operational issues caused by mechanism changes. Clean arc byproducts: Remove debris from the interrupter surface and inspect insulation components for impact damage or cracks.
Q: What are the differences between indoor vacuum circuit breakers and SF₆ circuit breakers?
A:
Arc-quenching medium: Vacuum circuit breakers use vacuum for arc quenching (environmentally friendly, no greenhouse gases), while SF₆ circuit breakers use SF₆ gas (requiring attention to gas leakage and environmental treatment). Volume and maintenance: Vacuum circuit breakers are smaller in size and have a longer maintenance cycle (the maintenance-free cycle can reach 10 years); SF₆ circuit breakers require regular detection of gas pressure.

What is reactive power measurement?
The power which exists in the circuit when the voltage and current are out of phase to each other, such type of power is known as the reactive power. The formula measures the reactive power in the circuitReactive Power Measurement & VarmetersReactive power measurement is critical as it indicates circuit power loss: low reactive power worsens load power factor, increasing system losses.

How to Design and Install a Solar PV System?
Design and Installation of Solar PV SystemsModern society relies on energy for daily needs like industry, heating, transport, and agriculture, mostly met by non-renewable sources (coal, oil, gas). However, these cause environmental harm, are unevenly distributed, and face price volatility due to limited reserves—driving demand for renewable energy.Solar energy, abundant and capable of meeting global needs, stands out. Standalone PV systems (Fig 1) offer energy independence from utilities.
