Metallic Atoms Concentrations Measurements in an Industrial Low Voltage Circuit Breaker Using Broad Band Absorption Spectroscopy
Abstract
In order to investigate the electrical arc in low voltage circuit breakers, metallic atoms concentrations measurements were performed using broad band absorption spectroscopy. From absorption spectrum in 510-523 nm range, copper atom concentration, electron temperature and silver atom concentrations were determined with LTE assumption. Absorption spectrum in spectral range around 430 nm enables to determine the iron atom density.
