Review: Circuit breakers are unique devices. They are a purely mechanical apparatus connected to an electrical system, where they must systematically interact with the system to provide protection and control of the circuit by initiating or halting the current flow. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, describing the most common applications and design requirements and their solutions based on experience and established practices. This edition keeps up with the changes in circuit breakers – circuit breaker standards have changed to take in the harmonization between International and American circuit breaker Standards. There is also a new chapter reviewing dielectric theory and the properties of insulation.
