Experimental study of the influence of arc ignition position on arc motion in low voltage circuit breaker

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Arc motion process is crucial to the interruption capability of low voltage circuit breaker. With 2-D optical fiber arc motion measurement system, to one simple chamber model, experiments have been done to measure the arc motion velocity, in order to analyze the influence of different arc ignition position on the arc motion. It demonstrates that the larger the volume behind arc is, the slower the arc moves.
