“…The authors have used optical emission spectroscopy (OES) to investigate ablation gas behaviour in a product-scale interrupter with an interrupting current of 20 kA in root mean square (rms) value [17]. Also, the temperature was evaluated by searching the spectral profile of black-body radiation best fitting to the continuous spectrum by changing its temperature as a parameter in 50 kA rms [18]. In two earlier studies [17,18], the absorption spectra of C 2 molecules were measured during the large current phase.…”

A product-scale interrupter with a rated voltage range of 245 kV to 362 kV and current condition of 20 kA root mean square has been examined to study the arc extinguishing process and the appearance of absorption spectrum by C2 molecules immediately before the current zero. The latter has elucidated the presence of C2 molecules outside the arc core, where the temperature is lower. The temporal behaviour of the C2 absorption spectrum and the emission spectrum of the S+ ion have been measured, which have indicated that PTFE ablation gas is replaced by SF6 because of gas flow from the thermal puffer chamber to the stagnation point. The computed spectra agree well with the experimentally obtained spectra and show similarities to measured profiles. They show evidence of absorption by C2 molecules in the continuous spectrum and the reproduced band heads of the C2 Swan spectrum.
