Abstract :
Ideal monitoring of circuit breakers would be implemented on the basis of optimizing circuit breaker failures, delivery point reliability, equipment life, and maintenance effort; while maximizing human and environmental safety, and return on assets. This paper presents a methodology that can be used to evaluate the parameters that are important to the individual user and even to the individual circuit breaker
