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

[@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

[@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!

[@F-Man]

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

[@Klugscheisser2]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@edwardmcewen]

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

[@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.

[@simitmishra4981]

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

[@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.

[@linuxBlob]

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

[@internet146]

Extremely informative. Thanks.

[@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!

[@MsLontje]

valuable information on this video, thank you

[@robertnorthrup1914]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@PrincessHarmonyMoonlight]

Very interesting, I enjoy learning these things :)

[@justimagine2403]

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

[@Djembe908]

Very educational! Tx

[@superbracey]

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

[@ldqbaz]

suddenly appear on my recommendation, but it fascinating

[@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!

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

[@donwatson2741]

Thanks for posting,interesting 👍

[@franciscomontanez6061]

never is late to learn , I love it

[@RuknaGeraltas]

This is my favourite video on youtube

[@Shokkwavez]

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

[@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.

[@ricardojuarez6534]

thanks for the information is excelent you video

[@lane8376]

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

[@soydechileyque]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS STUFFS BUT I LIKE THIS VIDEOS. ONLY THINK THIS GUYS ARE AMAZING.

[@mahadevmahesh898]

[@ronniengandwe6108]

This is amazing, thanks

[@ervivekchoubey]

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

[@TheBryanmantilla]

Thanks, very useful. Good job.

[@chenwei8064]

thank you for sharing!

[@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.

[@praveshverma5215]

Nice I. Am. Satisfied

[@IxxxMnMxxxI]

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

[@alexriesenbeck]

Very informative video, thanks!

[@OmicronGaming]

Omicron doing some fine work 👍

[@harrypouncey9218]

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

[@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?!?

[@Teddy_Bass]

Love that switch

[@ferashamdan4252]

Thank you. Liked this

[@FemptMurderOrgy666]

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

[@KiloByte69]

I wish I had my own high voltage substation to fuck around with.

[@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.

[@krisallennavarro8779]

now i knew it!! hahaha thank you

[@Black_Kakari]

Very interesting

[@krnlg]

Love this stuff. I need a career change...!

[@mohsenbehdarvandyan6260]

[@gustavoeusebiosalinas]

thanks for the contribution, very good information.

[@Hex-Mas]

Thanks

[@thawatchaichaichana1832]

It's very good.

[@kakilani79]

Good video ...and how much money for this switch .? And the operational life time before maintenance. .

[@omicronenergy]

Kilani Sdudah Dear Mr. Kilan Sdudah, Thank you for your positive statement regarding our video. In your comment you ask about the price of a circuit breaker (switch) and its operational lifetime before maintenance. However, we, OMICRON, are a manufacturer of test equipment and have also a test system called CIBANO 500 with which you can test circuit breakers. We do not manufacture circuit breakers. Therefore, we don’t have price data or maintenance cycle data available. In order to get more information about OMICRON, please visit our website www.omicron.at. If you want to know more about CIBANO 500 please follow the link www.omicron.at/en/products/all/primary-testing-monitoring/cibano-500/ Please just let us know if you need more information. Best regards, Your OMICRON Team

[@markhall7646]

This just makes my toes curl and my palms sweat.

[@vasanthamahesh695]

awesome sir,,,,but show me some sample readings in abnormal conditions,,how it behaves that time,,,

[@dharmikmistry8781]

Thank you 😊 sir

[@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

[@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.

[@s.kjainlalitpur2779]
