چکیده
In the search to obtain a better understanding of switching arc phenomena in the current intemrption, our attention has been focused on the study of arc plasma behavior in the alternative current circuit breaker. In this paper a comparison between intemrption capability of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen (Nz) ballast arcs are made and we present physical aspects and characteristics of arc plasma specially plateau variation of the post-arc current near the intemrption limit that have been investigated in experimental measurements with a gas mixture of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen (N2).
