Abstract
A method of operating a switching device in a system. The method includes monitoring a voltage; operating the system at each of a plurality of system configurations; and, for each of the system configurations and a predetermined same opening angle relative to a reference angle of the monitored voltage, determining a suitable closing angle relative to the reference angle and storing information about the determined suitable closing angle in association with the system configuration in a database. The method then includes, determining a system configuration in the system; at the predetermined same opening angle, opening the switching device; from the database, obtaining a closing angle of the determined suitable closing angles, wherein the system configuration with which the obtained closing angle is associated in the database corresponds to the determined system configuration; and at the obtained closing angle, closing the switching device.
