why making capacity is more than breaking capacity?

Answer Posted / zeeshanm

*When breaker is closed and a fault occurs then it closes
in transient state(in transient state DC offset become zero)
so the current capacity at this intant is only the rms
value of current(symmetical component)in transient state
which is also called breaking capacity of breaker.i.e
Breaking capacity=rms value of breaking current in
transient state.

* Now when breaker is going to be closed and mean time
fault occurs then it will close in sub transient state and
the current carrying capacity at this instant contains rms
value of current (~symmetical componentin transient state)
and the DC offset current in subtransient state which is
also called Making capacity of breaker.i.e
Making Capacity=DC offset current+rms value of breaking
current in transient state

Therefore: Making capacity > Breaking Capacity
