Cathode-constriction and column-constriction in high current vacuum arcs subjected to an axial magnetic field

Abstract: The influence of the applied axial magnetic field on the current density distribution in the arc column and electrodes is intensively studied. However, the previous results only provide a qualitative explanation, which cannot quantitatively explain a recent experimental data on anode current density. The objective of this paper is to quantitatively determine the current constriction subjected to an axial magnetic field in high-current vacuum arcs according to the recent experimental data. A magnetohydrodynamic… Show more

“…Generally, the uniform cathode boundary condition is used in the vacuum arc model. However, the previous work shows that the uniform cathode distribution is not suitable for the high-current vacuum arcs [32]. Therefore, the current constriction is considered in the present study.…”

“…An external magnetic field exerts a considerable influence on vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs). Many researchers studied the vacuum arc under the influence of magnetic fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. An external transverse magnetic field (ETMF) may weaken the interruption capacity of VCBs.…”
