Abstract
A high-power switchgear testing laboratory is a necessary tool for the development of new circuit breakers which meet the requirements of modern electrical systems. This paper describes additions to an American laboratory which increase its power, voltage, and effectiveness. The additions include a generator, transformers, capacitors, a test cell, switchgear, and instrumentation.
