Superseded by C37.011-1994. Transient recovery voltage requirements for AC high-voltage circuit breakers rated above 1000 V and on a symmetrical current basis are addressed. The effect of circuit parameters and the circuit breaker on the transient recovery voltage is considered, and transient recovery voltage tests are specified. Circuit breaker rating and application, calculation of transient recovery voltages, a short method of calculating TRV limits, and typical values of capacitance and its calculation for various equipment are covered.
