Here's a paper that talks about Arc Flash reduction solution when no main breaker is present on secondary side of transformer.
 
Thanks for the paper, Bob. I've been looking for something similar for many of the Unit Sub locations at my work place. Now to get some of the systems engineers to accept it...

On another note, the IEEE needs to start included the publish date in their header for their papers.
 
This was a worthwhile read, and very pertintent to some work I am doing.
I know that Eng. Tips avoids commercial statements, and the paper was extremely good at saying who they bought the breaker from. I suspect there is more than one source, so maybe this would be the appropriate Q:
What companies make 15kV class breakers that can fit into a 15kV fuse compartment?
 
Thanks Bob this will help in my studies!
 
Hi Folks.
Maybe, I missing something, but:
ABB, Areva, Siemens, Tavrida are provide same type of MV CB
up to 22-36kV,vacuum and SF6, many years. opening time about 50ms, and some "new" ABB CB with 30-40ms open/close time ( sorry, don't remember type).
Regards.
