Plateau Variation of Arc Current Near the Interruption Limit in a Gas Circuit Breaker

Abstract

The electric arc is one of the basic switching elements in power engineering and the study of its behavior will help to a better understanding of related phenomena. In this paper we discuss one of this special behavior, its reason and necessary models to describe this variation that have been observed occasionally in our measurements.
