Oil Circuit Breakers are utilised in high-voltage applications, particularly in power transmission and distribution systems. These breakers cut the flow of electrical current by utilising oil as an arc-quenching medium. When a fault occurs, the contacts open, generating an electric arc that is rapidly extinguished by the surrounding oil.
