What are air circuit breakers?
Air circuit breakers are most commonly used in commercial and industrial applications, and provide overcurrent protection for 800-1000A circuits. They are typically used for low-voltage energy distribution (under 450V), but can be used for medium voltage distribution as well (1000V and up). Air circuit breakers are used in both AC and DC circuits, and can also be installed with either fixed or draw-out enclosures, though they are almost always intended for indoor use.
Do I need an air circuit breaker?
If you need to regularly make small adjustments to your breaker, an air circuit breaker might be right for you. Air circuit breakers are completely open and operate out in the open at atmospheric pressure, making them easier to adjust and modify, and also much easier to recondition. In fact, thanks to our specialized circuit breaker testing facilities, Bay Power carries an impressive selection of fully-tested, reconditioned air circuit breakers.
The air circuit breaker has also for the most part replaced the oil circuit breaker as it reduces the cost, maintenance, and risk associated with oil. Air circuit breakers also use a superior, more effective arc-extinguishing mechanism to break the circuit.
