Abstract
In this paper, different arc voltage waveforms and KEMA arc models are used to study the stress of the direct SLF ( short line fault) test circuit and the synthetic SLF test circuit on the TB (test breaker). For the synthetic test circuit the total arc energy input in the TB is less than in the direct test circuit, but just before the current zero, the dI/dt and subsequently the arc energy input in the TB is higher. It is demonstrated that the arc-circuit interaction plays an important role for the TB to clear the fault. For SF/sub 6/ circuit breakers with an arc voltage of significant extinguishing peak, the voltage injection synthetic test circuit produces an overstress for the TB. >
