Stationary Line Test Applications DC Substation High Speed DC circuit breakers are valuable components which must be protected against wear and tear and excessive current flow. Before closing High Speed Circuit Breaker on a power line, it is therefore advisable to test whether a short circuit is occurring by means of line test resistors. The resistor is electrically connected through a contactor - if no fault current is detected - then it is safe to activate the circuit breaker; otherwise, there is a fault somewhere on the line. It is as well possible that activating the resistor for a few times in a row (On - Off cycles with the desired number of consecutive on steps) may help in getting rid of the physical cause of the short circuit. The essential pieces of information needed to design a Line Test Resistor are: • Nominal Voltage • Test Current • Duty cycle Microelettrica Scientifica S.p.A.
