Power system apparatus, such as switchgear, capacitor banks, and surge arresters may be exposed to various types of transients. Transients from restrikes during vacuum switch opening may cause ...

This paper presents the outcomes of a comprehensive technical evaluation conducted to assist a major utility retrofit outmoded medium voltage air circuit breakers in generator switchgear with standard ...

The performance of surge arresters during electromagnetic transients on power systems can be simulated with EMTP-type computer programs. This paper discusses the steps to be performed for deriving the ...
