| Abstract | The objective of this paper is to discuss the short circuit requirements of HV switchgear such as generator circuit breakers and other distribution circuit breakers, both indoors and outdoors. This paper identifies the various short circuit withstand capabilities, their significance and importance in relation to short circuit and other transient conditions that exist in a power system under fault conditions. Many electrical engineers often confuse the real meanings of these requirements and generally depend on manufacturers in selecting the right switchgear for the intended application. The influence of environmental conditions is also briefly discussed for outdoor switchgear. In addition, this paper briefly explains the short circuit requirements and selection of power cables for MV & HV applications. |
