Abstract

An arc modelling is a valuable and useful tool to evaluate the switching performance of low-voltage switching devices (LVSDs) during breaking operation before testing real products. Moreover, it helps improve interruption capability of LVSDs and optimize them. This paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the arc behavior in AC devices before zero current and prediction of the re-ignition after current zero based on the simulated arc voltage. The 3-D arc modelling is based on the conventional magnetohydrodynamics theory and it considers the motion of a contact, arc root, radiation and air properties which vary with the temperature and pressure.
