Restriking Voltage : it is the transient voltage that exists during the arcing time. ( natural frequency kHz ).

Recovery Voltage : it is the rms voltage after final arc extinction. ( normal frequency 50 or 60 Hz).

both voltages appear between circuit breaker poles.

What is restriking voltage?

Restriking voltage is transient voltage. During the arcing time, at current zero, the voltage that shows up across the contacts is the restriking voltage.


The value of restriking voltage depends on?

L and C


Define recovery voltage in circuit breakers?

It is the transient voltage that appears across the contacts of the circuit breaker at or near the zero current instant during arcing period. A high frequency transient voltage appears across the contacts and is caused by the rapid distribution of energy between the magnetic & electric field associated with the station & transmission lines of the system at the zero current. This transient voltage is known as restriking voltage.


What is the difference between the rupturing capacity and the short circuit breaking capacity?

Rupturing capacity:Rupturing capacity or breaking capacity expresses the current that a circuit breaker is capable of breaking at a given recovery voltage under certain set conditions of operation. It is expressed in MVA The set conditions are power factor,recovery voltage and rate of rise of restriking voltage. When the current broken is symmetrical it is called symmetrical breaking capacity. When the current broken is asymmetrical it is called asymmetrical breaking capacity. It is common to designate circuit breaker capacity based on asymmetrical breaking capacity. Breaking capacity of a circuit breaker =√3xVxIx10-6MVA Short circuit breaking capacity: It is the highest value of short circuit current which a circuit breaker is capable of breaking under specified conditions of transient recovery voltage and power frequency voltage. It is expressed in kA. The breaking current is expressed in two ways1)The r.m.s value of a.c component of current at the instant of contact separtation.2)The percentage of d.c component of current at the instant of contact separtation. While selecting the circuit breaker for a particular location in the power system the fault level at that point is determined.

What are specifications of pn junction diode?

This can vary significantly from diode to diode (especially the reverse recovery time and peak reverse breakdown voltage), so always consult the datasheet.


Is there a different when electrocuted with a current of high and low voltage?

High-voltage systems have extremely high levels of energy and, so, coming into contact* with a high voltage conductor will likely cause catastrophic external burns at the current's entry/exit points, as well as internally along the current path. The likely of recovery from high-voltage electrocution is low. Anyone who does recover may have irreversible organ damage. (*It's not even necessary to come into physical contact with a high-voltage conductor, as merely approaching within its vicinity may be enough for flash-over to occur.)


What is current chopping?

When low inductive currents, such as magnetiing current of transformer, shunt reactors are interrupted by breaker, there is rapid deionization of contact space and may cause the current to be interrupted before its neutral zero. This phenomena is called current chopping. This generally occurs during opening small inductive currents by vacuum ckt brkr or air blast circuit brkr. The transient voltage having high restriking voltage RRRV appears across the contacts, unless the arc restrikes. If it restrikes a further, chop may occur or several chops may occur before the current is finally interrupted. Circuit breaker may fail to clear the current. Circuit breaker in which dielectric strength of contact space grow at slow rat, the problem of current chopping is less severe as the gap breaks down and absorbs successive magnetic energy by restriking. Oil circuit breakers are therefore suitable to such application. This is the reason that sometimes in air blast circuit breakers resistance switching is adopted.
