Abstract

Axial magnetic field generated by special electrode construction in vacuum interrupters is used to extinguish electric plasma arcs. This investigation by FDM should prove to what extent the magnetic field might influence on the arc expansion. The calculated results show that the stronger magnetic field induced the lesser radius of arc plasma. This study will help to offer good data in design of vacuum interrupters.
