The top of Figure 3.29 shows the Angle Difference decreasing—V
S
* is
approaching V
P
. Ideally, circuit breaker closing is initiated when V
S
* is in
phase with V
P
(Angle Difference = 0 degrees). Then when the circuit breaker
main contacts finally close, V
S
is in phase with V
P
, minimizing system shock.
The bottom of Figure 3.29 shows the Angle Difference increasing—V
S
* is
moving away from V
P
. Ideally, circuit breaker closing is initiated when V
S
* is
in phase with V
P
(Angle Difference = 0 degrees). Then when the circuit
breaker main contacts finally close, V
S
is in phase with V
P
. But in this case,
