why circuit breaker closing time is always higher then
tripping / opening time.
Answer Posted / thayathidavan gopalan
Closing time is always greater than opening time.Closing a
breaker means you have to close against the inertia and it
is closing on no load normally.
Opening time should be fast as possible to interrupt the arc
fast to avoid damaging of the contact , It depends upon
the manufacture and design of driving mechanism ,make to
open as fast as possible.
opening during fault shall be as fast as good to maintain
system stability also

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.
