Abstract:After a phase to earth fault in a transmission line, opening of the circuit breaker poles at line extremities interrupts the fault current in the faulted phase. However, due to coupling between phases there is still a residual current through the electric arc, which is then denominated secondary arc. Interruption of the secondary arc defines if single pole reclosing operation will succeed. Nowadays, studies evaluate the likelihood of secondary arc interruption to define application of single phase reclosing. B… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
