Abstract :
This article covers the development of a 5,000-mva compressed-air circuit breaker in Canada, which retains the features of the grounded-steel-tank oil breaker and incorporates most of the advantages of the porcelain-clad air breaker. The preliminary and verification test data presented should be of considerable interest.
