Abstract
This paper traces the evolution of standards for alternating current high voltage circuit breakers in the United States from approximately 1900 through 1972. It reviews differences in rating principles and application methods in the "total current" and "symmetrical current" basis of rating standards and outlines some of the new areas of circuit breaker standardization now being developed in industry committees.
