Overvoltages (1/3)
● Some are unavoidable, they are caused by the oscillations of the TRV
● They can be increased by current chopping in the case of inductive

Peak value of short-circuit
making current according to -100
4.103 Rated short-circuit making current
● The rated short-circuit making current (see Figure 8) of a circuit-
breaker having simultaneity of poles is that which corresponds to the
rated voltage and the rated frequency. The following values apply:
● for a rated frequency of 50 Hz and the standard value of the time
constant of 45 ms (see 4.101.2) it is equal to 2,5 times the r.m.s. value of
the a.c. component of its rated short-circuit breaking current (see 4.101);
● for a rated frequency of 60 Hz and the standard value of the time
constant of 45 ms (see 4.101.2) it is equal to 2,6 times the r.m.s. value of
the a.c. component of its rated short-circuit breaking current (see 4.101);
● for all special case time constants (see 4.101.2) it is equal to 2,7 times
the r.m.s. value of the a.c. component of its rated short-circuit breaking
current, independent of the rated frequency of the circuit-breaker (see
4.101).
● Cases to be considered
● single capacitor bank
● back-to-back capacitor banks
● Blow fresh gas on the arc to cool it and deionise the plasma column
● Puffer
●SF, RM6 switch, PM6, Unisarc (old ranges: F, FB, FC, FG2, VM6,
Isolarc …)
● Rotating arc
●Rollarc, LF, SM6 (old range: FG1)
● Self-expansion
●LF, RM6 CB (old range: FG2 HP)
● Split the arc between metal plates to cool it and increase the arc voltage
● LV air CBs, FBX switch
● Increase length of the arc against refractory or degassing material to
cool it and increase the arc voltage
● Old ranges: Solenarc DSE, Intersec G

Choice of vacuum breaking technique
● the diffuse mode has good intrinsic ability for current interruption :
● low neutral density
● fast disappearance of residual plasma
● arc energy spread over the whole anode surface
● But usually will result in internal arc in the switchgear and heavy
damage to the equipment
● This can make it difficult to ascertain the cause of failure due to the
destruction of interrupting chambers
The pole explosion is caused by the increasing of SF6 gas pressure due to an over heating of the main contact.
Caused by the degradation of the contact resistance, a significant temperature rise follow up by a thermal runaway
is at the origin of the pole explosion.
● RMF
● Internal AMF
● AMF Holec VI
● contacts with « horse-shoe » magnetic circuit
● External AMF coil
● Diffuse arc mode (with applied AMF)
● Constricted arc mode (between spiral type TMF contacts)
● Axial Magnetic Field – AMF
● Internal or external coil segments create B-field parallel to the arc, forcing it
to become diffuse and distributed throughout the gap
