Study of Inrush Current
The selection of over-current protection devices such as fuses and circuit breakers is made more complicated when high inrush currents must be tolerated. The over-current protection must react quickly to overload or short circuit faults but must not interrupt the circuit when the (usually harmless) inrush current flows…

Load Break Switch: Evaluation of Breaking & Making Capabilities
Among several switching devices largely used in medium voltage distribution systems, which change the grid configuration, isolates faulty parts from the grid, etc. Load break switch is a remarkable one. For the reason to analyse the interrupting capabilities, load break switch rated up to 52kV has to undergo various test duties according to IEC 62271-103. This article focuses on the parameters involved in evaluation of its behaviour during make-break tests. - Yugal Agrawal, K.Sharath kumar
