  • Abstract
    Simplified breaker application to industrial systems is proposed. Multiplier curves and tables provide the answer. These curves were developed (1) by superimposing calculated induction motor fault currents on synchronous-machine-source fault currents, and (2) by adding "k" factor curves which are an indication of the momentary limits of the breaker. Built-in asymmetrical capability allows breakers to be applied to industrial systems independently of breaker rated interrupting time. One symmetrical-current (E/X) calculation is adequate for breaker application.
