title: New magnetic command system for a 200-kA circuit breaker with 10-mus current transfer time.
abstract: We present improvements of the previously described command system of a 200-kA circuit breaker with 10-mus current transfer time. It uses the magnetic pressure produced by a high-current pulse sent through two flat conductors instead of a coaxial circuit. The necessary command current is cut in half and the standoff voltage is higher.
