circuit breaker blogs- Surge Suppressor Fires, Circuit Breakers, and Varistor Conduction May 29, 2013A customer called MIDWEST because some of their surge suppressor strips had caught fire underneath office workers’ desks. The surge suppressors had integral circuit breakers in them for over current protection. However, despite the smoke and fire, the internal circuit breakers never tripped. The surge suppressors were still supplying power to the workers’ de […]MIDWEST
- High Voltage Oil Circuit Breaker – A look inside the tank January 31, 2013Have you ever wondered what the inside of an old high voltage oil circuit breaker looks like? Maybe you have driven by a utility substation and saw three large round tanks hanging on a frame with high voltage wires coming into tall insulators on the top of each tank. Well, these actually are oil filled […]MIDWEST
- Image of Circuit Breaker Main and Arcing Contacts July 9, 2012When discussing circuit breakers, we like to have good images to show the difference between the main contacts and the arcing contacts. When a circuit breaker opens, the main contacts should open partially first before the arcing contacts start to open. There should be no arcing damage to the main contacts because the arc […]MIDWEST
- Circuit Breaker – POJ with perfect test results May 30, 2012Sometimes MIDWEST’s Engineering Technicians in our Switchgear Shop like to do what the Engineers call “Play.” The technicians call it serious research. Sometimes their adventures are quite worthwhile, even enlightening. Recently an Engineering Technician dropped a circuit breaker test form on an Engineer’s desk and said, “Would you take a look at that and […]MIDWEST
