High-current vacuum circuit breakers

Advanced temporal analysis of anode activity during mode transitions in high current vacuum arcs - dataset

Anode activity in high current vacuum arcs leads to the formation of various high current modes and transitions between them. Intense material evaporation during the anode spot mode and formation of a neutral vapour cloud during the anode plume mode modify the arc plasma properties and, hence, can have a crucial impact in applications, like e.g. reduction of interruption performance of switching devices.
