Critical values for post-zero current and power loss were measured in an orifice-type air-blast interrupter of reduced size for dI/dt values of 10-35 A mu s-1. The measured values were one order smaller than predicted by turbulent theory. For 10 A mu s-1 the power loss was only 1 kW.
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.
