What Is The DC Component For Medium Voltage Circuit Breakers
According to IEC, the circuit breaker must break the rms value of the periodic component of the
short-circuit (= its rated breaking current) with the percentage of asymmetry defined by the graph
attached.
The relatoin between symmetrical breaking current, asymmetrical breaking current and the
percentage of d.c. component is given in attached file.
