Preventing Failure
Selection of the Circuit Breaker has to be done carefully, so that it does not allow the transformer to exceed the permissible winding temperature. The built-in Bi-metallic strips mounted in the Circuit Breaker, located below the top oil, achieve the temperature sensing function. The circuit breaker thus provides Thermal matching with the transformer & protects it against over loads... - C.V.Govinda Raju
