Original Abstract

This contribution deals with the extinguishing process in low voltage circuit breakers. The main parameters that affect burning of an electric arc between contacts are described. The attention is focused on the first period of extinguishing process when the arc is moving along the contacts. One of the parameter - velocity of the contacts due to electrodynamic forces - is described in more details. The forces are computed using the finite element method.
