(c) Momentary current can be calculated by multiplying the symmetrical momentary current<br />

by a factor of 1.6 to account for the presence of DC off-set current.<br />

\ Momentary current through breaker B<br />

= 1.6 × 5.108 KA = 8.17 KA.<br />

Allowance is made for the DC off-set value by multiplying with a factor of (i) 1.4 for 2<br />
