Power transmission system with current limiting device

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A power transmission system having a plurality of power transmission stations for transmitting power from a power-receiving line to respective branch circuits wherein each power transmission station includes a protection circuit providing a current path for transmitting power to or receiving power from other stations. Each protection circuit has a series circuit of a current limiting breaker and a current detector and a bypass switch in parallel with the series circuit. When operation of one station is selectively interrupted to allow inspection for example, of, the main transformer, the bypass switch of the one station is closed to provide a current path for the associated branch circults …
