Abstract
The behavior of 15-kV, 28-kA vacuum interrupters, when subjected to fault duty operations at voltages up to 30 kV, or currents up to 80 kA, is explored. Insight into the physical factors governing this behavior is presented as are the consequences of subjecting the vacuum device to such abnormal duty conditions.
