Abstract :
The dynamic growth of utility systems has resulted in demands for power circuit breakers with faster interrupting times as well as higher interrupting capacities and continuous-current loadings. The rapid speed at which 500-kv system plans have developed and the current, interrupting megavrolt-ampere (mva), and insulation requirements which these systems have imposed on the circuit breaker designer are particularly significant.
