Circuit Breaker Faliure / Local Breaker Backup

50Z / 50BF / LBB / CBF Ha..! Ha..! Don't get confused upon reading the title. The explanation is just here..! This is another level of protection given for particular circuit breakers. Each power system equipment like transformer, generator, transmission line, etc. have its own protection relay which assures its smooth working and safety. When a fault occurs, one or more protection devices will operate and issue a trip command to the relevant circuit breakers. Operation of the circuit breaker is essential to isolate the fault and prevent, or at least limit, damage to the power system. For transmission and sub-transmission systems, slow fault clearance can also threaten system stability. But most of the time the circuit breaker works fine, but due to some external fault on the circuit breaker such as trip circuit lose contact, delayed circuit breaker operation, circuit breaker’s internal mechanism issue, etc. it fails to trip for the command of different relays . Here c...

            Electricity is the most powerful and heavily demanded mode of energy for all human beings in this world. According to the law of conservation of Energy states that "Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another",So to achieve this typical energy format we have to convert from other energy variants.There are many modes conversion of energy to electricity. Hydro, geothermal, nuclear, wind, waves, etc are some among them. After conversion the stage before utilization is to transfer power. So to fulfill this, a medium for transferring power has to be discovered.             We could define electricity as the study of flow of charge/electrons. So fundamental property of the medium used for transfer of power should strongly support the flow of electrons.           ...
