Abstract

The study of arc interruption is very essential in high voltage circuit breakers since arc extinction must be achieved in the shortest possible time for effective protection of the power system. This paper presents some conventional arc models used in the research of interaction between switching arc and circuit during the interruption process of high voltage circuit breakers. It goes ahead to develop a model that is current dependent with a constant time parameter that helps to improve the process of arc interruption in high voltage SF6 circuit breaker. The simulation results show that the model has the capability of reducing the arc interruption time by completely extinguishing the arc current almost instantaneously.
