Abstract

An extensive revision of the IEEE C37.011 "Application Guide for TRV for AC High-Voltage circuit Breakers" has been in process for the last four years. The main aim was to introduce the two- and the four- parameter description of the transient recovery voltage (TRV) as used in IEC Switchgear standards that have been introduced in the revisions of Standards C37.04 and C37.06. These two standards are being concurrently revised, but IEEE C37.011 provides the necessary explanations on TRV characteristic in advance. Non-specialist engineer users of the guide will better understand these standards
