Transient recovery-voltage characteristics of electric-power systems

THE existence of transient recovery-voltage phenomena in connection with the interruption of short circuits by circuit breakers has been recognized for a number of years, and from time to time measurements and calculations have been made on actual field circuits.2,5 However, while these more or less isolated and scattered instances have provided some valuable information, they have not afforded a comprehensive picture of transient-recovery voltage conditions existing in the field.
