  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The high-pressure arc in a model circuit breaker is investigated by optical methods and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. The aim is to determine the plasma temperature profile and the pressure in the arc to reveal the mechanisms of ablation and pressured build-up. In addition, the comparison of experimental and theoretical results helps to confirm measurement methods as well as the simulation and underlying models.
