Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV)

Detailed TRV analysis for circuit breaker applications and switching operations in power systems

What is Transient Recovery Voltage?

Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV) is the voltage that appears across the terminals of a circuit breaker after current interruption. TRV analysis is crucial for circuit breaker selection, application, and ensuring successful fault current interruption without equipment damage.
