Abstract
On account of the variable conditions in systems on which circuit breakers are used, it is impossible to give a simple rule which will cover the selection of circuit breakers for all cases. The authors discuss the interpretations of the A. I. E. E. Standardization Rules covering the rating of oil circuit breakers and consider the variable factors which are involved in the selection of circuit breakers for various systems. A method is suggested whereby short-circuit characteristics of various systems can be used for determining the proper selection of oil circuit breakers for average systems. The method does not apply to very large systems or unusual conditions.Keywords
