what is power frequency withstand and impulse withstand of a
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)

Is This Answer Correct ?    15 Yes 3 No

I am designing new project sub station with 220 kV / 11 kV, 40 MVA capacity. This project have many recifier sets, which can generate 3rd harmonics. Now I have to select vector group of This transformer. To minimise 3rd harmonics, what care should I take in selection of Transformer Vecrtor group? If it is Y-Y with open Delta tertiary then what should be the rating & voltage of Tertiary Winding?
