Abstract

This paper presents the study of intermediate frequency vacuum arc under axial magnetic field (A M F). Arc voltage noise at the first current half-cycle is unconspicuous even if the current is not interrupted successfully,it can be attributed to the application of a sufficient strong A M F provided by the current in a short vacuum gap.The influence of current frequency on peak arc voltage and the rate of rise of arc voltage are investigated. Interrupting capacity of CuCr50 cup-type vacuum interrupter (VI) with A M F is examined, the current interruption limit is inversely proportional to frequency from 400Hz-800Hz, it is in agreem ent with the experimental and theoretical results achieved by other scholars. Eddy current field of CuCr50 cup-type VI with A M F is studied by finite-element method based on a simplified axial symmetric model, the results shows the phase shift angleincreases conspicuouslywith the increase of current frequency, and besides the rate of change of current (di/dt) when current passeszero, phase shift angle also influences the interm ediate frequency current interrupting capacity of VI.
