Question Bank Part A

1. State the two theories that are used to describe the arc extinction phenomena. 2. How is the process of deionization carried out in circuit breakers? 3. Give the different methods of high resistance arc interruption. 4. Draw the static and dynamic arc characteristics. 5. Define the term current chopping. 6. What is perspective voltage across the stray capacitance of 0.0023F, when the instanious current chopped by the circuit breaker is 7A? The value of inductance in the circuit is 35.2H. Part B 7. Define the term restriking voltage. Derive an expression for restikking voltage. (8) fault is 0.4. Recovery voltage is 0.95 of full line value, breaking current is symmetrical and the restriking transient had natural frequency of 16KHz. Determine RRRV assuming that (a) the fault is grounded. (8). (b)ungrounded. (8) 9. Explain successive restrikes as applied to the interruption of capacitive currents. (8). 8. In a short circuit test on 132KV 3phase the breaker gave the following results.
