Question

History, Importance and Usage of IoT Circuit Breakers

Answer 1

Circuit breaker is used to protect and switching of electrical connection. But before introduction of iot based circuit breaker, there was lots of problem was there because of communication gap between operators and sometime due to failure of circuit breaker, accident is also very common. As we know that, IoT( Internet of Things) is very popular now a days and it is very reliable platform,as it uses internet for their operations and maintenance. Now suppose in early days where there was no internet connection, at that time knowing condition of circuit breaker was very tedious task and to check and maintain it requires shutdown of that plant, if we ignore maintenance then that causes failure. But as IoT bases circuit breaker introduces, therefore maintaing and switching, breaking is now very easy and we can monitor condition of circuit breaker from distance as well. There was one problem regarding conventional circuit breaker, it's switchgear was design using hardwired control logic, therefore it consumes more space, complex system, due to this integration of internet of things is not possible, and hence timely execution is not possible, we can not access data remotely and maintenance cost more as we need to remove it from cabinet everytime.
