Global Single-Phase Vacuum Circuit Breaker Market Definition

A vacuum circuit breaker is a circuit breaker where the arc quenching takes place in a vacuum medium. The operation of switching on, the closing of current carrying contacts and interrelated arc interruption takes place inside a vacuum chamber in the breaker which is known as a vacuum interrupter. A vacuum is used as the arc quenching medium in a circuit breaker which is further known as a vacuum circuit breaker as vacuum gives high insulating strength due to superior arc quenching properties. It is suitable for most standard voltage applications due to its higher voltage, vacuum technology was developed however not commercially feasible. Circuit breakers are switches designed to protect an electrical circuit from harm caused by excess current, typically due to short-circuit or overload.

Vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) uses the vacuum as the medium in arcing chamber to quench the electric arc generated during circuit interruption after a fault is detected. It contains, cools, and extinguishes the arc. This automatic removal of power from a faulty system can be easily reset and used multiple times. The advantage of vacuum circuit breakers over their other counterparts is that it has minimal arcing as there is nothing to ionize other than the contact material. Hence, it consists of higher insulating strength than any other medium. PCBs are maintenance-free and have a longer life expectancy than the others.

They are faster and safer with no fire hazards or explosions. They are lighter, noiseless, and produce no exhaust gas to be removed from the atmosphere during their operation. They are used in medium voltage switchgear very frequently. The major end-users of vacuum circuit breakers are the energy & power, mining, and transportation industry. All industry that utilizes electricity finds applications for vacuum circuit breakers, especially at medium voltages are used in applications such as repetitive switching and current interruption in electricity distribution networks. They are used in industrial motors and transformer feeder switching.

Global Single-Phase Vacuum Circuit Breaker Market Overview

The circuit breaker is an electrical switching device that regulates electricity flow and sends specified amounts of electricity to buildings. Increasing construction activities and rising dependence upon electricity will boost the device's demand. It helps avoid failures, malfunctions, and short circuits and boost residents' safety. Furthermore, the rising awareness regarding safety may boost the device among consumers. The adoption of the device eliminates electrical system overall damage. In addition, its rising adoption in high voltage transmission & distribution lines, railway systems, and small and medium substations may bolster market growth in the upcoming years.

This market can be negatively affected during the COVID-19 pandemic because of restrictions on manufacturing activities. A sudden spike in cases led to the imposition of lockdown, which negatively affected business activities. The rising dependence upon electricity will promote the adoption of reduced capacities and part-time shifts. Further, the adoption of advanced sanitization methods has resulted in a safer working environment and these factors are likely to foster market development during the pandemic. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, renewable electricity generation accounted for 2805.51 Terawatt-hours.

Many utilities are focusing on renewable energy integration to decarbonize the power distribution system as well as ensure environmental protection. Hence, renewable sources may have a significant share in the total power generation mix in the future. Increasing renewable energy generation is stimulating a demand for circuit breakers as they are important for protecting and controlling electrical power systems. Recent regulations to reduce or limit the power blackouts and upgrade the aging power networks worldwide (particularly in North America, Europe, and parts of APAC) are creating a market for the entire power sector equipment value chain.

Power systems depend on long chains of transmission lines, substations with transformers and circuit breakers, and much other equipment such as feeder circuits, reclosers, sectionalizes, fuses, cutouts, service transformers, and service drops and must function well if the utility is to deliver power to its customers. Circuit breakers are used in utilities for the safe operation of grids. Circuit breakers protect assets like generators and transformers that are involved in power generation plants. The main function of a circuit breaker is to detect the fault caused due to short circuit on the power transmission system and disconnect the equipment from the grid. Hence, replacing aging infrastructure is an opportunity for the market to grow.
