Mutiple Choice Questions

The document discusses different types of circuit breakers, relays, and fuses used in switchgear and protection. It provides multiple choice questions about the components and their functions. Circuit breakers are used to isolate faults and disconnect from circuits. Vacuum circuit breakers use no medium, while SF6 circuit breakers are highly reliable. Relays give tripping signals and instantaneous relays operate immediately after a fault. Fuses are applicable for both AC and DC supply, use materials with low melting points, and are connected in series with circuits. Rewirable fuses are connected manually.
