Abstract :
The range of the high speed air circuit breaker has been extended to a 10,000-amp 750-volt d-c continuous rating. It is particularly adaptable to railway systems, and in this larger rating, a single unit has ample capacity for the largest size conversion units now available for 600-volt service. A description of the new circuit breaker is given in this article.
