Calculation of the Wear
The I

t method evaluates the wear of a circuit breaker based the sampled measuring values of the phase
currents during the arc time. The duration of the arc time is defined by the difference between the 2 settings
of parameters CB break time and CB opening time (see also Figure 9-23). The stage determines the
ending point of the arc time by searching backward the zero-crossing point of the phase currents after it
receives the logic release signal. Then, the squared fault currents during the arc time are integrated phase-
