Abstract

This paper establishes the efficiency threshold criterion for the use of forked moving contacts on power circuit breakers (CBs) to enhance parallel operation of circuit breaker/current limiting reactor that approximates series short-circuit current limiting reactor connection with no constant power losses [1, 2]. It provides adequate guide for selecting appropriate Current Limiting Reactor (CLR) inductance (reactance) for an efficient power circuit breaker operating mechanism energy requirement and cos
