Bl. Sheng et L. Vandersluis, COMPARISON OF SYNTHETIC TEST CIRCUITS FOR ULTRA-HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT-BREAKERS, IEEE transactions on power delivery, 11(4), 1996, pp. 1810-1815
Three synthetic test circuits to verify the interrupting performance o
f Ultra-High-Voltage circuit breakers (765kV-63kA-50Hz) are compared o
n aspects of equivalence, operation, required capacitive energy and ap
plicability. The comparisons show that, although each circuit has its
own merits, the EPIC circuit appears to be very attractive. The EPIC c
ircuit not only saves on capacitive energy but has also a good equival
ence with the direct test circuit.
