PIR -preinsertion resistor.It is connected in parallel to
the main interrupter which in series connects the PIR at the
time of beginning of opening of contacts to limit the
current to be interrupted.The PIR is in parallel with
contacts when the breaker is closed,in series at start of
opening and completely disconnected after opening.

PIR - Pre-insertion resistor

PIR is used for safe handling of the transients in EHV
switching operations. PIR will be active only for few milli
seconds during switching after which it will be out of
circuit

Consider a case that two 200 hp motors are connected to 500KVA transformer. For improving power factor can we add capacitors in common bus bars to motors. Or should we add capacitors for each individual motor?

We have a distribution transformer of 750KVA/11kv/440v and an AVR (Servo Stabilizer) of 750KVA on the LT side of distribution transformer. Also we have an ACB of 1200A on the output of distribution transformer (that is on the input of AVR). We want to have an MCCB on the output of AVR. What should be the rating?
