The Early Counterpulse Technique Applied to Vacuum Interrupters
Abstract
Interruption of de currents using counterpulse techniques is investigated with vacuum interrupters and a novel approach in which the counterpulse is applied before contact separation Important increases have been achieved in this way in the maximum interruptible current and large reductions in contact erosion The factors establishing these new limits are presented and ways are discussed to make further improvements to the maximum interruptible current.
