Abstract
This paper reviews the most important topics related to the control of high current vacuum arc with the aid of axial magnetic field (AMF); the main experimental findings, explanations, and theories and the effect of AMF nonuniformity. The state of the art AMF contact systems for commercial vacuum interrupters are also presented.
