1. For a particular value of Beta the third harmonic neutral voltage is measured with the
generator in the no-load condition and the circuit breaker in the closed position.
2. With the same condition, the third harmonic neutral voltage with the circuit breaker
in the open position is measured.
3. CB Open factor should be set equal to the ratio of the third harmonic neutral voltage
measured with the circuit breaker in the closed position to that in the open.
