Difference between ACB (Air Circuit Breaker) and VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker) ?

Advantages , disadvantages of VCBs & ACBs ?

Where we prefer to use VCBs over ACBs ?


thanks

I just did a few flips in a few references. This is actually outside of my area of expertise.

What I came up with is that VCB are used for medium voltage applications while ACP can be used for low voltage applications.

VCB have a faster clearing time than ACP and are lighter.

This sounds like a homework assignment.

This is way to vague of a question for us to provide actual engineering assessments.
