Abstract :
This paper describes the efforts by the IEC and the IEEE Switchgear Committee to harmonize the transient recovery voltage (TRV) of circuit breakers from 1 kV to less than 100 kV. Progresses are advancing fairly fast due to previous studies performed by CIGRE on these TRV and a new goodwill toward harmonization demonstrated by all the people involved around the world.
