Restriking voltage, and its import in circuit-breaker operation

摘要

Restriking voltage and its principal significance are described, and the problem of relating these to circuitbreaker operation in power systems is stated. An instrument for showing inherent restriking-voltage characteristics is described in some detail, reasons being given for the leading features adopted; and the method of operation is outlined. The scope of possibilities in system investigations and in circuit-breaker development is indicated. A short appendix deals with design of the instrument.
