  • Abstract
    Up to now in the electromagnetic transient program (EMTP) the electromagnetic transients caused by circuit breaker switching have been simulated using the ideal circuit breaker model. In this paper the authors incorporate the EMTP nonlinear electric arc models in the simulation of power circuit breakers, in different extinction means and different work. Applications for reactor bank switching and short line faults are reported
