Experimental investigations on the post-arc current of the vacuum circuit breaker in an active mechanical DC circuit breaker

Vacuum circuit breakers (VCB) are commonly used in active mechanical direct current circuit breakers (DC CBs) to accomplish the interruption of the fault current. The post-arc current phenomenon of a VCB is related to the dielectric recovery process of the VCB. Thus, we performed experiments to inve...
