Protection Principles and Components Articles: Methods of Discrimination in Power System Protection: Methods of Discrimination in Power System Protection are basically of two types: those which discriminate as to the…
Indirect Testing of Circuit Breaker: With the increase in the breaking capacity of the HV circuit breakers, it has become uneconomical and unpracticable to increase the short-circuit capacity of testing…
Direct Testing of Circuit Breaker: The Direct Testing of Circuit Breaker in a plant enables us to test under conditions largely representing those in actual network as well as tests…
Circuit Breaker Testing Procedure: A preliminary check up of various equipment is made before the actual Circuit Breaker Testing Procedure commences. The correct values of resistance and reactance coils are…
Circuit Breaker Analyzer: Short Circuit Generator: This is of a special design having very low reactance in order to give the maximum short-circuit output of the Circuit Breaker Analyzer. The…
Simple Testing Station: In these Testing Station the short-circuit power is supplied by specially designed short-circuit generators, driven by induction motors. A simplified diagram of such a testing station is…
Basic Design of Arc Extinction Chamber: The considerations for design for the Arc Extinction chamber used in oil circuit breakers and air-blast circuit breakers would naturally be different. As far…
DC Circuit Breaker: Light duty DC Circuit Breaker have been in use since long. However, with the latest developments in HVDC transmission there would naturally be the necessity of the…
