Circuit breakers are equipment of vital importance for several reasons. The reliable operation of the breaker in a critical fault situation is essential for the safety of humans, equipment, and installation. Failure of the circuit breaker on such occasions can jeopardize this safety requirement and result in immense damage in terms of loss of lives, equipment, infrastructure facilities, production loss, and goodwill from society. Below testing of the circuit breakers ensures reliability of the equipment.
