    Resistance switching involves connecting a resistor in parallel with the contact space of a circuit breaker. This helps reduce the restriking voltage and transient voltage surge when the circuit breaker opens by limiting the current. The resistor also helps limit high frequency oscillations that can occur due to breaking capacitive currents. Resistance switching is mainly used in circuit breakers that have a high post-contact opening resistance.

    Resistance Switching
    Resistance Switching

     Is a fixed connection of resistance in


    parallel with the contact space or arc
    is called the resistance switching.
    Resistance switching is employed in
    circuit breakers having a high post
    zero resistance of contact space. The
    resistance switching is mainly used
    for reducing the restriking voltage
    and the transient voltage surge.
     Severe voltage occurs in the system
    because of two reasons, firstly
    because of the breaking of low
    voltage current, and secondly
    because of the breaking of capacitive
    current. The severe voltage may
    endanger the operation of the system.
    It can be avoided by using resistance
    switching (by connecting the resistor
    across the contacts of the circuit
    breaker).
     Alternatively, the resistance may be automatically switched in by
    transference of the arc from the main contacts to the probe contact
    as in the case of an axial blast circuit breaker, the time required for
    this action is very small. Having the arc path substituted by a
    metallic path, the current flowing through the resistance is limited
    and then easily broken.
     The shunt resistor also helps in limiting the oscillatory growth of
    restriking voltage transients. It can be proved mathematically that
    the natural frequency (fn) of oscillations of the circuit shown is
    given as
    To sum up, resistor across the circuit breaker contacts may
    be used to perform any one or more of the following
    functions.
     It reduces the RRRV ( Rate of Rising of Restriking Voltage ) burden
    on the circuit breaker.
     It reduces the high-frequency restriking voltage transients during
    switching out inductive or capacitive loads.
     In a multi-break circuit breaker, it helps in distributing the transient
    recovery voltage more uniformly across the contact gaps.
     The resistance switching is not required in the plan circuit breaker
    because their contact space is low.
