Here's a brief explanation of the components:
- Busbar: The busbar is the main electrical conductor that carries the 33kV power. It's typically a metal bar or a set of bars that are connected to the breaker and the load.
- Breaker: The breaker is the device that switches the power on and off. It's typically a vacuum or SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) insulated breaker, which is designed to operate at high voltages.
- Load: The load is the device that uses the power, such as a motor or a transformer.
The breaker typically has the following components:
- Trip unit: The trip unit is the electronic or electromechanical device that detects faults in the circuit and sends a signal to the breaker to trip (open).
- Contactors: The contactors are the electrical switches that make and break the circuit. They're typically operated by the trip unit.
- Arc chute: The arc chute is a device that helps to extinguish the arc that forms when the breaker trips.
- Insulation: The insulation is the material that surrounds the breaker and prevents electrical discharges from occurring.
Please note that this is a highly simplified schematic, and actual breaker designs may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific application. Additionally, this schematic does not show the control wiring, protection devices, or other components that are typically part of a complete breaker system.
