Circuit breakers perform two fundamental roles in substations: (1) interrupt high fault currents safely to protect equipment and limit system disturbance, and (2) provide a means of making and routing power during normal operation (switching, sectionalizing).
These breakers are often used in modern substations for optimal performance in terms of reliability, efficiency, and environmental impact. Example: In a modern urban substation where space is limited, a hybrid circuit breaker might be used to protect the main incoming feeder.
A substation breaker does not make decisions on its own. It responds to inputs from current and voltage transformers and from protective relays that continuously evaluate system conditions. When thresholds are exceeded, the relay issues a trip command, and the breaker executes it.
For example, consider a substation feeding power to an industrial area. If a short circuit occurs on one of the distribution lines due to a tree branch falling on the line, the circuit breaker associated with that line must quickly detect the fault and interrupt the current.
