Abstract
CO2 is identified as a promising alternative gas of SF6. The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) arc model is established for a CO2 circuit breaker. The influence of gas pressure is studied. The simulations are carried out for 0.5 MPa, 0.7 MPa and 0.9 MPa absolute filling pressure, allowing predictions of pressure and temperature distributions. The arc time constant θ and the power loss coe cient Q is extracted. The thermal interruption capability is estimated to grow with increasing filling pressure.
