Abstract :
The transient recovery voltages of breakers applied at the common winding terminal of autotransfonners are investigated for interruption of low voltage bus faults. The results are compared to the applicable industry standards. Methods of reducing the transient recovery voltage magnitude and rate-of-rise are investigated.
