Voltage sag: It is usually associated with system faults but can also be caused by energization of heavy loads or starting of large motors. Voltage sag is the short reduction in the RMS voltage between 0.1 to 0.9 pu for a duration of 0.5 cycle to 1 minute
For the given circuit shown in figure, D1 is forward bias mode - On state D2 is in reverse bias mode - off state D3 is in reverse bias mode - off state.
Symmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of a a.c component of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
Asymmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of the total current comprising the a.c and d.c components of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
