AI Thread Summary
Motorized breakers are specialized electrical devices designed for remote operation, allowing users to switch power on or off without manual intervention. They utilize a low voltage motor that turns a worm gear to open or close breaker contacts, facilitating remote control. Unlike simple breakers, motorized breakers provide additional functions such as fault signaling, automatic reconnections, and protection against electrical faults like short circuits. They are categorized under circuit breakers but specifically cater to electric motors operating at both 60 Hz and 50 Hz. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for selecting the appropriate breaker type for specific applications.

Dear all,

I want to know what is the function of motor in breaker and how it works.

In which category it falls?

I have studied many types of circuit breakers like
MCB
MCCB
RCD
RCBO
VCB
ACB
etc.

Figure of Motorized Breaker:-

It's used to remotely switch power on or off.
However, as described in the picture, it will not operate the breaker mechanism itself.
 
Hi tipu_sultan. Your attachment shows a breaker with a remote-control function. The low voltage motor is indicated as turning a worm gear to close or open the breaker contacts, thus facilitating remote operation.
 
That 3-wire red/white/black cable is wired to one of the Lyntec controller boards.
 
Motorized Breaker are a specialized type of electrical protection device that designed specifically for electric motors, of both 60 Hz and 50 Hz. Functions are faulting signaling, automatic reconnections, protection against electrical faults like short circuits.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
