MCB (miniature circuit breaker) is an electromechanical device which guards an electrical circuit from an over current that may effect from short circuit, overload or imperfect design. It doesn’t have any repairable component.
MCB is substituting the rewirable switch-fuse units for low power domestic and industrial applications in a very quick manner. In wiring system, the MCB is a blend of all three functions such as protection of short circuit, overload and switching. Protection of overload by using a bimetallic strip and short circuit protection by using solenoid

________ does not have any repairable component:a)Air Blast CBb)MCBc)O...
Explanation:
- In this question, we are given a list of electrical components and we need to identify the one that does not have any repairable component.
- Let's analyze each option one by one to determine which one fits the criteria.
Air Blast CB (Circuit Breaker):
- An air blast circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker that uses compressed air to extinguish the arc created during the interruption of electrical current.
- It consists of various mechanical and electrical components such as contacts, arc chutes, operating mechanisms, and control circuits.
- All these components can be repaired or replaced if they malfunction or get damaged.
- Therefore, the air blast circuit breaker does have repairable components.
MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker):
- A miniature circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker that is commonly used in residential and commercial electrical installations for protection against overcurrents and short circuits.
- It consists of mechanical and electrical components such as contacts, trip mechanisms, bimetallic strips, and arc extinguishers.
- Most of these components can be repaired or replaced if they fail or get damaged.
- Therefore, the miniature circuit breaker does have repairable components.
OCB (Oil Circuit Breaker):
- An oil circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker that uses oil as an arc extinguishing medium.
- It consists of various mechanical and electrical components such as contacts, arc extinguishing chambers, oil tanks, operating mechanisms, and control circuits.
- All these components can be repaired or replaced if they malfunction or get damaged.
- Therefore, the oil circuit breaker does have repairable components.
Air Break:
- An air break is not a specific electrical component but rather a general term used to describe a type of switch or circuit breaker that uses air as the arc extinguishing medium.
- It may refer to air break switches or air break circuit breakers.
- These devices typically consist of mechanical and electrical components such as contacts, arc extinguishing structures, operating mechanisms, and control circuits.
- All these components can be repaired or replaced if they malfunction or get damaged.
- Therefore, the air break does have repairable components.
Conclusion:
- Based on the analysis, the correct answer is option 'B' - MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker).
- A miniature circuit breaker does not have any repairable component as it is a compact unit and most of its components are not easily repairable or replaceable.
- In case of any malfunction or damage, it is more cost-effective to replace the entire MCB rather than repairing individual components.
- Therefore, the MCB does not have any repairable component.
