Abstract :
The growing use of vacuum interruption devices by the power and control industries in the past decade has introduced these mechanisms to many people to whom the area of vacuum switching is somewhat new. It is felt that a review of vacuum switching from a historical and technological standpoint will facilitate a more general understanding of this important subject.
