Publisher's Note
This newly revised and updated reference presents sensible approaches to the design, selection, and usage of high-voltage circuit breakers, highlighting compliance issues concerning new and aging equipment to evolving domestic and international standards. It discusses the latest advances in mechanical and dielectric design and application from a simplified qualitative perspective. New material includes contact resistance, insulating film coatings, and fretting, temperature at the point of contact, short-time heating of copper, erosion and electromagnetic forces on contacts, closing speed and circuit breaker requirements, "weld" break and contact bounce, and dielectric loss and partial discharges.
