The movable contact of conventional air circuit breaker (ACB) includes multiple parallel contacts. The arc motion process directly affects the breaker capacity of ACB. Therefore, it is important to study the arc motion process of multiple parallel contacts model. A three-dimensional (3D) magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) model of air arc plasma is built to investigate the arc motion process. The anode of...
A 2-D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) arc model is developed to simulate the influence of the venting configuration on air arc plasma motion in a low-voltage circuit breaker. It is demonstrated that the fully closed back venting is helpful to accelerate the arc motion due to the propagation of a pressure wave. Side- and central-type front-venting configurations are also compared. It is found that the arc...
