    Live and Dead Tank Circuit Breakers

    Live tank circuit breakers have their switching units located in insulated bushings at line voltage, making them cheaper and more space efficient than dead tank circuit breakers. Dead tank circuit breakers place their switching units inside earthed metallic containers, allowing for current transformers to be placed directly on the incoming and outgoing conductors. The terms live tank and dead tank only apply to high voltage circuit breakers.

    PRINT VERSION: Difference Between Live and Dead Tank Circuit Breakers

    Difference Between Live and Dead Tank Circuit Breakers


    Posted @ 11/11/2011 5:51 AM by Steven | Files in Power Systems
    A quick post in connection with an email question: Live Tank - the circuit breaker the switching unit is located in an insulator bushing which is live at line voltage (or some voltage above ground). Live Tank circuit breakers are cheaper than dead tank and require less space. Dead Tank - the switching unit is located within a metallic container which is kept a earth potential. As the incoming/outgoing conductors are taken through insulated bushings, it is possible to place current transformers on these (with a Live Tank arrangement this is not possible and separate CTs are required). The terms Live and Dead Tank normally only apply to high voltage circuit breakers
