Mayr and Cassie made assumptions about thermal properties of arcs about 40 years ago. The resulting mathematical models of the arc have been applied by others to various arcing structures, usually large circuit breakers, and have had good success in predicting performance of the arcing devices for both high currents using Cassie's model and low currents using Mayr's model. The thermal properties of...
