Consequently, it must be checked very accurately whether the stress on the circuit-breaker is within the permissible range. If the capacitor voltage (U c) exceeds the rated breaker voltage (U r), a breaker of the next higher voltage rating must be used; e.g. a 36 kV breaker instead of a 24 kV breaker, or two breakers must be connected in series.
