    Rated breaking current vs small inductive breaking current rating

    Hi friends, My EHV CB (rated 145 kV) is rated for breaking capacity 40 kA. But the reactor breaking current is only 315 A. Also, the Cable charging current breaking capacity is 160A only. However, the Back to Back Capacitor Switching current breaking capacity is 400A. Why the current values...

    Pre-insertion resistors

    Is it possible to use Pre-insertion resistors in a 132 kV GIS CB. The switching duty is for energizing a shunt reactor supplying a 100 km long 132 kV cable. The studies indicate a huge DC offset without current zeroes for approx 1.5 sec. Inserting a resistance can decay the DC component faster...
