  • Abstract
    Following a number of failures to clear when switching out 500 kV shunt reactors, a series of reactor switching tests was conducted to determine the causes of the failures and to ensure adequate specification of circuit breakers for such future applications. The results of the tests and the conclusions drawn are presented
