Fault Carrying Capacity-Santon 200A Admiralty Type Rotary Switch

Abstract

An investigation was made into the ability of a 200A Triple Pole Santon Rotary Switch, Admiralty Type, to carry heavy fault currents until they were cleared by the overload release of a feeder breaker. The tests described in this report are of the nature of a go-no go variety, and were made with direct current. The maximum safe current was found to be of the order of 10,000A at 628v D.C.
