how the vaccum ckt breaker workes..? how the arc is
quenching in it?

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

The arc is quickly quenched as the metallic
vapours,electrons and ions produced during arc, rapidly
condense on the surface of the breaker contacts due to
fast rate of recovery of dielectric strength in vacuum.

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?
