Modeling and numerical simulation of anode activity and arc motion in a transverse magnetic field
Vacuum interrupters based on transverse magnetic field contacts now are widely used in medium voltage circuit breakers. The arc motion under the transverse magnetic field (TMF) plays a decisive role in the interruption. In this paper, we focus on the movement of vacuum arc driven by TMF and anode th...
