  • Abstract
    One method used in the selection of circuit breakers for application to low-voltage a-c circuits is based on the assumption of “bolted” faults. Some engineers, however, believe that these fault currents never are reached in practice. An extensive series of tests shows a distinct need to clarify the situation in so far as the effect of arc drop is concerned.
