Abstract
- This paper describes a procedure for calculating generator circuit breaker duty. Currently, commercially available software products help in determining the duty for a general-purpose circuit breaker. However, further calculations are needed to determine the duty for a special-purpose generator circuit breaker. IEEE Std C37.010-1999 provides the calculation procedure for general-purpose circuit breakers. In order to evaluate a special-purpose generator circuit breaker, this paper will expand the steps and methodology used in IEEE C37.010-1999 by presenting a procedure and detailed calculations for finding a duty multiplication factor based on the test $X/R$ ratio of generator circuit breakers given in IEEE C37.013-1997 (Standard for AC High-Voltage Generator Circuit Breakers Rated on a Symmetrical Current Basis). This way, engineers can still make a generator circuit breaker assessment although generator circuit breaker evaluation module is not included in many commercial short-circuit programs.
