The main characteristic of an ACB is that it has the capability to suppress or quench arcing that can occur due to overloading.

Working of ACB

ACB contains two types of contacts: main and auxiliary contacts. There are stationary contacts and moving contacts in every set of contacts.It is the main contact carrying most of the load current. These contacts contain cadmium – silver alloy which shows exceptional resistance to damage by arcing.

A robust spring is activated when the ACB is closed and ACB is attached against the force of the spring. Here, the first to establish contact and break  last is auxiliary contact.which means that when ACB is closed it is the auxiliary contact that closes first followed by the main contact.

The main  contact is the first to open When the ACB is opened and followed by auxiliary contact. During the opening of ACB the auxiliary contacts are subjected to arcing and are readily replaceable.
