“…In most cases, these tests confirmed the expectations regarding the extinction time [12,13,15,16]. This is not only because the secondary arc RMS value is that low, but because the rate of rise of the recovery voltage is significantly smaller compared to single-phase interruption on uncompensated lines [12,15]. Further on, the field test in [16] shows that for very short extinction times not only the AC component of the secondary arc can prolong the extinction time.…”
