Abstract:Experimental setup for investigating the timeresolved ablation performance of polymers -functioning as wall materials for low voltage switching applications, was designed in this work. The test rig allows for chopping/bypassing a fault current up to the magnitude of 2.7 kA generated by a RLC damped circuit, in step of 1 millisecond. An updated test chamber allowing for characterizing the pressure built-up during the polymer ablation was introduced as well. Characterization of the testing system was first perfo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
