Abstract
A HORN-GAP switch has limitations in its ability to successfully open a circuit because of the restricted space available for expansion of the arc. It is not the length of the arc but its spread, and where it goes, that is important in switch operation. The clearance available for the spread of the arc must be such that the arc cannot form a short circuit between phases or to ground.
