Abstract
THE COMPRESSED-AIR circuit breaker for arc-furnace switching has become a firm component of the compressed-air circuit breaker line. Since 1947 when compressed-air arc-furnace breakers were introduced, 30 have been installed and several since then have been operated nearly 100,000 times each. Developments and redesign of the powerhouse breakers gained from the past 14 years of service have been combined with the experience obtained on the arc-furnace breakers to date and a new design of compressed-air arc-furnace breaker has resulted.
