Why is making current of CB always greater than CB breaking burrent?.

Answer Posted / sagar hingmire

Bcoz If making current capacity is not greater than
breaking current then if fault is there on electrical
system & ur going to close CB then very high fault current
will flow through CB and CB will get damaged or blast as
fault is not cleared.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
