Quest

1. The document discusses different types of circuit breakers and their components. It provides 15 multiple choice questions about circuit breakers. 2. Circuit breakers are current interrupting devices that protect electrical circuits. They contain a protective relay that opens the contacts when a certain threshold is reached. 3. Low voltage circuit breakers have ratings under 1000V. Fault clearing times are usually a few cycles of the supply voltage. Air circuit breakers use air to extinguish arcs while SF6 circuit breakers use sulfur hexafluoride gas.
