There are plenty of benefits by introducing ACB on low voltage distribution systems not only to the utility company but also to the consumer. Some of them are:
- IMPROVED POWER SYSTEM RELIABILITY
- Shorter duration of outages or black outs experienced by the consumer
- FAST AND ACCURATE TRIPPING
- Operate on real current value instead of thermal effects of fuses
- SAFE FROM ELECTROCUTION
- Avoid electrocution to technician responsible replacing blown fuse on live line.
- REDUCE COST AND LOSSES
- Minimize cost of replacing fuse, transportation and losses from outage.
