Interaction of Circuit Breaker: The circuit breaker performance can well be seen from the interaction between the breaker and the circuit. It is convenient to regard the short-circuit current i in the period around current…
Characteristics of Rate of Rise of Restriking Voltage: The important Characteristics of Rate of Rise of Restriking Voltage which affect the circuit breaker performance are: amplitude factor, rate of rise of restriking voltage (RRRV). Amplitude…
Restriking Voltage Transient: Electrically a power system is an oscillatory network so that it is logical to expect that the interruption of fault current will give rise to a transient, whose frequency depends on the…
Recovery Voltage: Recovery Voltage - While closing or opening the circuit breaker, the circuit constants play an important role. It was noticed in practice a circuit breaker that would operate satisfactorily at one point on…
Circuit Breaker Rating: The ratings of a circuit breaker refer to the characteristic values that define the working conditions for which the circuit breaker is designed and built. Circuit breakers must be capable of carrying…
Arc Interruption Methods in Circuit Breakers: The two modes of Arc Interruption Methods in Circuit Breakers are: high resistance interruption, and low resistance or current zero interruption. High Resistance Interruption: In this case the arc…
Arc Properties: The manner in which the are medium is made to conduct has already been studied. A plot of instantaneous values of voltage eB between the electrodes of a burning arc against the corresponding values…
Arc in Circuit Breaker: Discharge in a.c. circuit breakers, generally in the form of an arc, occurs in two ways. When the contacts are being separated arcing is possible even when the circuit emf is…
Static Distance Protection Relay: Static Distance Protection Relay are characterized by having two input quantities respectively proportional to the voltage and current at a particular point in the power system, referred to as the relaying…
Differential Protection Relay in Power System: A Differential Protection Relay in Power System scheme compares quantities derived from the input and output currents of the protected circuit in such a manner that, for all healthy…
