CIRCUIT BREAKER
A circuit breaker is an automatically-
operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow. It can make or break a circuit either manually or by remote under normal or fault conditions.

Actuator lever - used to manually trip and reset the circuit breaker. Actuator mechanism - forces the contacts together or apart Contacts - Allow current when touching and break the current when moved apart Terminals Bimetallic strip. Calibration screw - allows the manufacturer to precisely adjust the trip current of the device after assembly. Solenoid Arc divider/extinguisher
Circuit
breaker are used for all type of voltage. It is using in high power laboratories. It is using outdoor as well as indoor protection.
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
CT is a type of instrument transformer that is used in
current and monitoring the operation of the power grid. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)), are known as instrument transformers. it is a device used to measure large current by scaling large primary current to a smaller , easy to measure, secondary current.
Current
Transformer are used for electronic meter whose VA are very less. Unit protection such as bus zone, differential protection it is use. Current transformers are used extensively for measuring current and monitoring the operation of the power grid. Protection devices and revenue metering may use separate CTs to provide isolation between metering and protection circuits.
TRANSFORMER
A transformer is a static piece of apparatus used for
transferring power from one circuit to another without change in frequency . Physical basis of a transformer is mutual inductance between two circuit by a common magnetic circuit linked by common magnetic flux. It can raise or lower the voltage with a corresponding decrease or increase in current.
To transform AC to DC and DC to AC . A major application of transformers is to voltage before transmitting electrical energy over long distance. Transformers are usually done to change voltage either step up or step down, this works on the principle of induction.
BUSBAR
In electrical power distribution, a busbar is a thick
strip of copper or aluminium that conducts electricity within a switchboard, distribution board, substation or other electrical apparatus. Busbars are used to carry very large currents, or to distribute current to multiple devices within switchgear or equipment.
USES OF BUSBAR
LIGHTNING ARRESTER
A lightning arrester is a device used on
electrical power systems to protect the insulation on the system from the damaging effect of lightning. A protective device for limiting surge voltages by discharging or bypassing surge current, and it also prevents the flow of follow current while remaining capable of repeating these functions
INSULATOR
An insulator, also called a dielectric, is a material that
resists the flow of electric current. In insulating materials valence electrons are tightlybonded to their atoms. These materials are used in parts of electrical equipment intended to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current through themselves. Insulator provides necessary insulation between line conductor and support.
USES OF INSULATOR
Insulators are used to hold conductors in place, separating them from one another to form a barrier between energized parts of an electric circuit and confine the flow of current to wires or other conducting paths. An insulator can protect someone or something, from heat, electricity .
load. Isolator is also capable of switching with the charging current and also break the bus transfer current which are its functional requirement . An isolator switch is used to make sure that an electrical circuit can be completely de-energized for service or maintenance
USES OF ISOLATOR
It provide electrical isolation of the equipment, bus bar, and circuit from the live parts for maintenance purpose. It is using for transfer of load from one bus to another.
at plant to the people. Power generated at power station transmitted via switchyard. Switchyard protect the plant due to sudden damage outside the plant
CONCLUSION
Switchyard is most essential part of the power system. It is the protective part of the whole power system. Switch yard is also most essential part for transmission, distribution, and collection.
