why making capacity is more than breaking capacity?

Answer Posted / avdhesh

I think Pratik has given the exect answer. I wish to add
one more thing during closing of a circuit breaker. When we
close the breaker, there is rebounses of the contacts( 5-6
rebounces are normal in VCB). During transient state (Plus
fault) there is a chance of melting and welding of contacts
hence breaker making capacity is always required high.
