A Circuit Breaker is the active link in the fault clearance chain.
During a fault condition, current must be interrupted quickly and reliably.
This will minimise personal injuries and damage to equipment.
Circuit Breakers are often subjected to long periods of idleness, during which mechanical parts never move.
Circuit Breakers must be tested and maintained to ensure operation when the crucial need arises.
The importance of Circuit Breaker maintenance is often not realised due to long periods of idleness.
Maintenance is normally neglected due to the costs and downtime involved in traditional maintenance procedures.
