Circuit Breaker Testing

Circuit breakers allow the flow of energy to be controlled by safely switching currents on and off at all voltage levels of the energy grid. The interrupter and the mechanical drive are the main components that are subject to wear and aging. In order to ensure the proper operation of a circuit breaker throughout its lifetime, diagnostic tests are performed, such as resistance, timing, minimum pick-up, travel, and power factor.

[@bbbildhuu]

Thanks im gonna go test the breakers on my street now

[@flaplaya]

Amazing. I wasn't aware that there are multiple contact surfaces in one of these breakers. The arcing contact is sacrificial and the other contacts carry the bulk of the load. Ingenious!

[@SovietRusalka]

I don't know why this was in my recommendations but it was interesting

[@CentralNintendo1]

Same

[@poiuytrewq4645]

SovietRusalka exact same

[@AsitSinha]

same bro

@SovietRusalka
Google determined you should become a lineman. They're going to keep gaslighting you until you comply.
😉

[@nuismai]

Same here

[@F-Man]

My electrical know-how pretty much stops at dealing with household 120v and 240v wiring, but this was ridiculously informative anyway!

[@assassinlexx1993]

Thank you for making sure our aging electrical grid is up to the task. Keeping the lights on.
May the safe rules never be broken. Safety is essential for everyone.

[@edwardmcewen]

Excellent video! This was extremely thorough and still easy to follow.

[@simitmishra4981]

Fantastic video and helped practically realize theories learn in books. Keep bring more.

[@Klugscheisser2]

THIS is how to make a quality video. Great Job!

[@linuxBlob]

Woo. That was one mighty satisfying video to watch. Informative, direct, and concise.

[@MrSPACE-hy5ue]

that's more clear than they teach us in university.

[@AntimatePcCustom]

that's because it's theoretical teaching at the university. not practical. but you need the theory before practical learning.

[@MRtucnakCZE]

Gained 5 IQ just by watching this vid.

[@helloworld8428]

And still some idiots have disliked this video

[@PlayMates_]

@Nicholas Parris Like that kilobyte dude

[@duggydugg3937]

@Kilo Byte
almost ...

[@Zerpersande]

Nope. You may be a but smarter but that isn’t the same as intelligence.

[@lmsubman243]

An instructor told me: "if you learn one breaker you can work eM aLL!" The only thing that changes is the BoX they came in! He was right. They all com in a box!

[@internet146]

Extremely informative. Thanks.

[@robertnorthrup1914]

Well done! Much better than most vids on the Tube.

[@LaneLarson]

The sound of those breakers tripping is one of my favorites.

[@patrickcannell2258]

The old minimum oil Sprecher and Schu. As far as I am concerned the best and most reliable HV and EHV breaker ever made. These things are 40 years old. Before SF6.

[@free_spirit1]

How wonderful it is that we live in a time where we can learn about such things so far from one's education or field of expertise. The internet truly is a wonderful thing!

[@movax20h]

Good stuff. Nice testing and measurement tools too, made specifically for a job and analysis of data. The principle is very simple, but the tooling and analysis is what makes it awesome.

[@MsLontje]

valuable information on this video, thank you

[@justimagine2403]

This is so bad ass! For all the thankless work electrical workers do... Thank You!

[@CekalaStudios]

Greetings from recommendation land! I stumbled upon this video as it appeared today. So... I decided to have a look, and wow! This is fascinating. Great video! Voiceover is clear, and everything is well-explained. I’m not in the electrical engineering field, however I understood most of the video!

[@TheEdisse]

Thank you! Well made video, very easy to follow and understand!

[@atenrok]

very thorough and high quality

[@thatonethattalksalot7656]

Gotta love those shiny ceramic insulators with their blinging plates!

[@AbdulKareem-gu5gq]

this videos was fantastic . gives the knowledge and helpful to the students and others

[@PrincessHarmonyMoonlight]

Very interesting, I enjoy learning these things :)

[@Djembe908]

Very educational! Tx

[@leswause8937]

Thanks RUclips. I learned something new today. The more you know!

[@DeckardCain1986]

Now I wish I would have studied electric engineering instead of textile engineering

[@namm0x326]

Hey man, it's never too late to change careers...

[@scottpecora371]

As a 56 y/o Psychiatrist I was just having the same thought!

[@malayrojak]

I stayed a while to listen, but you didn't elaborate...

[@klaasklapsigaar1081]

Never too late to change!

[@Rohit_12678]

I m stdying EEE

[@Shokkwavez]

I've always wondered about this stuff, very interesting!

[@TechDEEM]

Great Guide about Circuit Breaker....

[@franciscomontanez6061]

never is late to learn , I love it

[@donwatson2741]

Thanks for posting,interesting 👍

[@superbracey]

I don't know how I got here, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[@khadijagwen]

This is very interesting. I retired as a Master Electrician in 2003 and had worked on 13.8 kv or less for 32 years. In that Voltage range, at that time, molded case breakers typically had a rating of around a dozen trips before they were rebuilt. We used some motorized breakers for 13.8kv which were around 1 meter cube, all metal, and were made by GE, and I do not know how many trips they could withstand. I avoided these breakers as much as possible.

[@HighestRank]

Khadijah Brown yep testing GE is petty and cruel.

[@patrickcannell2258]

That breaker is the old Sprecher and Schuu V head. Was a beaut.

[@patrickcannell2258]

You can say that again. I have been in this industry 35 years post grad. Still my favourite HV and EHV switchgear.

[@Goku_in_Real_Life]

Nice video, it’s always cool to learn how things in the world around you work.

[@lane8376]

I didn’t understand most of that but I loved the video because I learned something new.

[@ervivekchoubey]

Great video. Proud to be an Electrical Engineer....

[@minnesotaimaging9726]

Amazing level of engineering. I totally wasted 30k on a business degree. These guys are the smart ones.

Well now, I don’t know what I learned but I am heading to our nearest step down to access. Wish me luck!🥰

[@dieglhix]

I work for a power company, but im just an IT guy.. this is interesting

[@MusicVidsAT]

It looks the video was made in the switching station Bürs/Vorarlberg.

[@omicronenergy]

Dear MusicVidsAT,
you are right, the video was indeed done in Bürs. Very well spotted!
Best regards,
Your OMICRON-Team

[@QueLastima]

@@omicronenergy who actually recognizes this place?!?

[@FemptMurderOrgy666]

absolutely fascinating, technology of the everyday, that keeps civilization going, that no one is usually aware of.

[@joseaular4679]

Excellent video!

[@praveshverma5215]

Nice I. Am. Satisfied

[@IxxxMnMxxxI]

Good Mr. Verma, now this equipment will work perfect. :)

[@cjgaming5544]

Thanks youtube for recommodation after 7 years

[@markhall7646]

This just makes my toes curl and my palms sweat.

[@yashiro798]

Many companies underestimate these tests. Usualy, this tests are expensives, because you need especificaly equipiments and workers who are trained to operate and get the best and correctly results.
But, one failure on one circuit breaker may cause big loses to companies.

[@thawatchaichaichana1832]

It's very good.

[@s.kjainlalitpur2779]

Great Video

[@Black_Kakari]

Very interesting

[@totaltwit]

A reassuring set of test done here, although, all that exposed mechanics which I would think would lock up in the winter with ice. The internal mechanicals will slow up too, the grease will become hard. These tests need to be done under worst case scenario too.

[@shivkumarchouhan6549]

Great job 👍,

AWSOME!

[@phobolsacali9167]

Circuit Breaker testing thank you share, good videos.

[@bolarinwaidowu]

Thats good work

[@anandkrishan9054]

This is good one

[@araki916]

Good vid. I was wondering if you'd do a DGA analysis on these types of CB's? Or is that strictly for a XFRM?

[@omicronenergy]

Dear araki916,
DGA is not only restricted to power transformers, it is also done on On-Load Tap Changers, Bulk-Oil Circuit Breakers, Oil-Immersed Reactors and so on. Nevertheless, for this type of Circuit Breakers (Minimum Oil Circuit Breakers) DGA is not required, since the oil is utilized as interrupting media and not as an insulation media. Instead of DGA, another measurements are conducted like Oil Dielectric Breakdown and Interfacial Tension among others.
Best regards,
Your OMICRON team

[@Frankmuli1]

Great Mr engineer

[@jac01055]

Hey, nice vid. What is the equipment shown in 3:02? Is it always a breaker? Thanks

[@omicronenergy]

Hi Jorge, What you see is a North America Substation with so called “Dead Tank” circuit breakers. Typical for such breakers is that they have current transformers mounted on each pole.

[@luisbonilla4500]

thanks for sharing.

[@hogsworthhammer9211]

Awesome current events happen here.

[@XeroZVash]

good job

[@jamesqiu18]

Very good

[@Seethenhagen]

How fitting that Omicron sounds like a Transformer name
