Abstract
The materials used in tank-type oil circuit breakers, the predominate outdoor type, and the effects that low ambient temperatures have upon their performance are examined. Conclusions are presented indicating that low ambient temperatures require special consideration even with modern outdoor oil circuit breakers, but further study is still needed.
