Interruption principle
VACUUM ARC
Vacuum arc is initiated by the separation of current
carrying contacts and is maintained till the current zero
Two types of vacuum arc - Diffuse & Contracted
DIFFUSE TYPE
It occurs while interrupting the rated current
Single melting points form on the entire surface
of the cathode producing metal vapours which
support the arc
The diffuse vacuum arc is characterised by
expansion over the contact surface and by an
even distribution of thermal stress over the contacts
surfaces.
Negligible contact erosion

Interruption principle
CONTRACTED TYPE Higher the interruption current, the arc tends
to be transformed from the diffuse into the
contracted type due to the Hall effect
The arc contracts at the anode and as the
current increases further it tends to become
sharply defined. In this area there is an increase
in temperature with consequent thermal stress
on the contact.

Interruption principle
SPIRAL CONTACTS To prevent overheating and contact
erosion, the arc is kept rotating The special geometry of the spiral contacts
generates a radial magnetic field in all the areas
of the arc column An electromagnetic force is self generated and
acts tangentially causing rapid arc rotation around
the contact axis. The arc is forced to rotate and to
involve a wider surface than that of a fixed controlled arc Apart from minimising thermal stress, contact erosion
also is reduced which makes high short circuit current
interruption possible. Maximum dielectric strength is restored within micro-
seconds as the rapid reduction of current charge and
rapid condensation of the metal vapours happens
simultaneously along with the current zero.
