  • Abstract
    New designs to address high short circuit current issues are published every day. Traditional ways of designing and building switchgear such as standard and arc resistant class A, B and C are being challenged by new designs of switchgear that can manage short circuit currents better and reduce the effect of this current on personnel and equipment
