2. Circuit Breaker (CB)

A Circuit Breaker is a protective device that automatically interrupts
the flow of current when a fault (such as short circuit, overload, or
earth fault) occurs in the system. It ensures safety of equipment and
continuity of power supply.
Purpose in Substation:
At a 132/33 kV substation, circuit breakers are installed on each
incoming and outgoing line, as well as on transformer bays, to isolate
faulty sections and protect transformers, lines, and other
components.

Types of Circuit Breakers Used:

[Link]₆ Circuit Breaker (Sulphur Hexafluoride):
