one and a half breaker scheme the same as N-1 scheme. means if you have two BUS you 3 breakers each bay between it protecting your 2 connected loads or transmission lines. meaning if fault detected in a particular line only two breakers will trip isolating the faulted line and will not affect the adjacent line or load.

Breaker and a half is a term used in electrical engineering to describe a circuit protection device that has a current rating between one and two times the full load current of the circuit it is protecting. This allows for a margin of safety to accommodate small overcurrents without tripping the breaker.

Can you use two 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker?

No, you cannot use two separate 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker. A double pole breaker is designed to simultaneously disconnect both circuit conductors, whereas using two single pole breakers would not provide the necessary protection for the circuit. It is important to use the correct size and type of breaker as specified by the electrical code for safety and functionality.

If you blew a fuse in your house but the breaker does not show a blown fuse you still have no power to half your house what next?

If the breaker does not show a blown fuse but you still have no power to half your house, it's possible that the issue lies with a tripped breaker that isn't visibly noticeable. Try flipping all the breakers off and on to reset them. If that doesn't work, you may need to consult an electrician to identify and fix the problem.


What is one half breaker scheme used for 400220kv substation?

a method of interconnecting several circuits and breakers in a switchyard so that three circuit breakers can provide dual switching to each of two circuits by having the circuits share one of the breakers, thus a breaker and one-half per circuit; this scheme provides reliability and operating flexibility, and is generally used at 500 kV when more than five lines terminate in a substation.


When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?

When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.

What is one and half breaker system in electrical lines?

One and half breaker system is an improvement on the double breaker system to effect saving in the number of circuit breakers. For every 2 circuits, 1 spare breaker is provided: Two feeders are fed from two buses via their associated circuit breakers and these two feeders are coupled by a third circuit breaker which is called tie breaker. During failure of any of the two feeder breakers, the power is fed via the breaker of the second feeder and main breaker (tie breaker).
