Arc is a phenomenon occurring when the two contacts of a circuit breaker separate under heavy load or fault or short circuit condition.
Methods of arc interruption:
- High resistance interruption:-the arc resistance is increased by elongating, and splitting the arc so that the arc is fully extinguished
- Current zero method:-The arc is interrupted at current zero position that occurs 100 times a second in case of 50Hz power system frequency in ac.
