AN ALGORITHM FOR THE DIMENSIONING OF CIRCUITS FOR SYNTHETIC HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT-BREAKER TESTING

The paper addresses to the design of high-voltage circuits for synthetic circuit-breaker testing. After a presentation of two different test circuits, a general cost function is defined, which has to be minimized in order to get the best combination of elements for these circuits. The applied algorithm is described in combination with a network calculation program as a method in order to automate the design of synthetic test circuits.
