Difference Between Switch-Gear and Circuit Breaker

Common Features

  • Both carry and Interrupt rated normal current safely.
  • Both can safely close their contacts onto a fault and carry that fault for rated specific current.
  • Both can safely withstand their rated power frequency system voltage and rated lightning impulse across their contacts when in the open position.

Difference

Circuit Breaker  -    Detect and Interrupt a short circuit fault current

Switch               -    Only Isolation,
