Abstract:Substantial energy dissipation in arc discharge results in strong wall and electrode erosion in a circuit breaker chamber, which largely alters arc plasma properties and thus affects the arc behaviors. Due to the strong vaporization rate, the generated vapor will give rise to a gas flow. Vapor flow and gas-dynamics will change the local partial vapor pressure, which in return adjusts the vaporization rate. The understanding of arc induced vaporization is of great importance to study dynamic arc behavior and th… Show more
