漏电断路器与空气开关的区别如下：
The difference between the leakage circuit breaker and the air switch is as follows:
漏电断路器（residual current circuit-breaker）:电路中漏电电流超过预定值时能自动动作的开关。常用的漏电断路器分为电压型和电流型两类，而电流型又分为电磁型和电子型两种。 漏电断路器用于防止人身触电，应根据直接接触和间接接触两种触电防护的不同要求来选择。电压型漏电断路器用于变压器中性点不接地的低压电网。其特点是当人身触电时，零线对地出现一个比较高的电压，引起继电器动作，电源开关跳闸。电流型漏电断路器主要用于变压器中性点接地的低压配电系统。其特点是当人身触电时，由零序电流互感器检测出一个漏电电流，使继电器动作，电源开关断开。
Residual current circuit-breaker: a switch that can act automatically when leakage current exceeds a predetermined value in a circuit. Commonly used leakage circuit breakers are divided into two types, voltage type and current type, and the current type is divided into two types: electromagnetic type and electronic type. The leakage circuit breaker is used to prevent personal electric shock. It should be chosen according to the different requirements of direct contact and indirect contact with two kinds of electric shock protection. The voltage type leakage circuit breaker is used for low voltage power grid with neutral grounding points. The characteristic is that when the body is electrocuted, there is a relatively high voltage on the zero line to the ground, causing the relay to act and the power switch to trip. The current leakage circuit breaker is mainly used for low voltage distribution system with neutral grounding. It is characterized by a leakage current detected by a zero sequence current transformer when the body is electrocuted, so that the relay acts and the power switch is disconnected.
空气开关，又名空气断路器，是断路器的一种。是一种只要电路中电流超过额定电流就会自动断开的开关。空气开关是低压配电网络和电力拖动系统中非常重要的一种电器，它集控制和多种保护功能于一身。除能完成接触和分断电路外，尚能对电路或电气设备发生的短路、严重过载及欠电压等进行保护，同时也可以用于不频繁地启动电动机。
Air switch, also known as air circuit breaker, is a kind of circuit breaker. It is a switch which automatically disconnects as long as the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current. Air switch is a very important electrical appliance in low voltage distribution network and electric drive system. It has many functions of control and protection. In addition to the contact and breaking circuit, it can still protect the circuit or electrical equipment from short circuit, serious overload and undervoltage, and can also be used to start the motor infrequently.
