Interruption of Inductive Load Currents with High-Voltage Circuit Breakers

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The switching of shunt reactor and no-load transformer with high-voltage circuit breakers is discussed. Recommendations are given on the selection of circuit breakers for switching shunt reactors and on the analysis and integration of data on faults caused by switching of no-load transformers.
