Introduction
All the poles are completely isolated from each other as well as
from operating mechanism by high grade insulating materials. A
robust design of Arc Chute in a temperature resistant moulded
body and fitted with scientifically shaped Deion-Grids, totally
encompasses the poles.
The high short circuit arc gases thus escape through arc chute
only which clears and cools the highest short circuit arc energy
in less than 10ms. This isolation thus helps in providing highest
insulation properties as well as breaking capacity.

3.3.4 Phase & Neutral CTs
Polyester resin cast 5A secondary, 5VA, class 5P10 precision CTs are rigidly mounted on the lower terminals
of the Breaker. The CTs thus provide most reliable and accurate current signals to the protection devices
even in adverse environmental conditions.
The CT used for detecting a neutral line current in a 3 pole Breaker of a 3 phase four wire system,
is mounted outside on the neutral bus bar. This CT is necessary when over current trip device is having
a ground fault protection element.
However, in a 4 pole Breaker, the neutral CT is rigidly mounted on the neutral terminal of the Breaker.
