Breaker Failure Schemes: Implementation and Testing.

This article provides an overview of breaker failure schemes, which are used to detect and address circuit breaker failures in power systems. Breaker failure occurs when a circuit breaker fails to function properly, potentially causing damage to the system. The article explains the causes of breaker failure and introduces the concept of breaker failure protection. It discusses different types of protection schemes and emphasizes the importance of sensitivity, selectivity, and speed in their design. Breaker failure protection is essential for ensuring the prompt isolation of faults and the protection of equipment in power systems. It is commonly used in distribution systems, but also has applications in transmission and generation systems. The implementation and testing of these schemes vary depending on the specific system requirements. Overall, breaker failure protection enhances the stability, reliability, and safety of power systems. [Extracted from the article]
