The Characteristic of Transient Recovery Voltage includes Peak amplitude & Rate of Rise of Recovery Voltage. Transient Recovery Voltage is an important Rating of Circuit breaker as it has to with stand it for successful interruption of fault current. Transient Recovery Voltage primarily depends upon Nature of circuit being interrupted. It will also depend upon the grounding system of the network. Another vital factor which affects Transient Recovery Voltage is Series Compensation. Other factors which affect TRV are Type of fault, Distance of fault location, Fault clearing Time. This paper presents a literature review on Impact of above factors on Transient Recovery Voltage. Thyristor Controlled Switched Capacitor (TCSC) is used for series compensation. Effects of Transient Recovery Voltage on Circuit Breaker are also reviewed.
