		<description><![CDATA[It has been found that most of the line faults on overhead transmission system are transient in nature. About 90% of faults are caused by lightning, birds, vines, tree branches etc. these conditions result in such arcing faults that if the fault energy is interrupted for a short period, the arc extinguishes and the line [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this breaker, vacuum is being used as the arc quenching medium. Vacuum offers highest insulating strength, it has far superior arc quenching properties than any other medium. When contacts of a breaker are opened in vacuum, the interruption occurs at first current zero with dielectric strength between the contacts building up at a rate [...]]]></description>

The sf6 gas is an electro negative gas and has a strong tendency to absorb free electrons. The contacts of the breaker are opened in a high pressure flow of sf6 gas and an arc is struck between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These type of breakers employ &#8216;air blast&#8217; as the quenching medium.The contacts are opened by air blast produced by the opening of blast valve.The air blast cools the arc and sweeps away the arcing products to the atmosphere.This rapidly increases the dielectric strength of the medium between contacts and prevents from re-establishing the arc.Consequently the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In case of plain oil circuit breakers artificial control of arc is less therefore long arc length is necessary for arc quenching. Its necessary that final arc extinction should occur while the contact gap is still shorter. For this some arc control is incorporated and the breakers are then called arc control circuit breakers.

There is no special arc control system other than increasing length caused by separation of contacts. Arc extinction occurs when a critical gap is reached between the contacts.

		<description><![CDATA[Oil circuit breakers can be classified into following types: 1) Bulk oil circuit breakers, which use a large quantity of oil. In this circuit breaker the oil serves two purposes. Firstly it extinguishes the arc during opening of contacts and secondly it insulates the current conducting parts from one another and from the earthed tank. [...]]]></description>
