  • Abstract
    In this paper, a preceding study is resumed (see Velleaud et al., ibid., vol.19, no.3, p.510-4 (1991)). A few modifications have been brought to the mathematical model used to process the induction signals measured. Thus, the dynamics of the anodic and cathodic roots of a 2500 A break-arc at 200 V can be obtained with a set up almost similar to a low-voltage circuit breaker
