circuit breaker?

Answer Posted / raghavendran

power frequency withstand capability of a CB is its
capability to with any over voltage at system frequency for
a definite period of time say 1min.

Impulse frequency withstanding capability is to withstand
the impulsive voltage levels for a predefined period of
time.say 1.2(rise time)/50 microsec(fall time),100KV
say(impulse voltage level)
