High current interruption in vacuum circuit breakers [PDF]
Proceedings of 17th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum, 1997 The aim of this project was to find a correlation between contact gap length and switching behavior of a vacuum circuit breaker. A large number of interruption experiments were executed in a vacuum chamber with butt type contacts made of Cu, CuCr 50/50 and AgWC. The currents to be interrupted varied from 2.5 to 32 kA.

DC interruption characteristic of vacuum circuit breaker
Electrical Engineering in Japan, 2005 AbstractA high‐speed vacuum circuit breaker (HSVCB) has been investigated. HSVCB makes high‐frequency current superimposed on a fault current so that the current is forced to be zero and is interrupted. Its interruption performance is considered to be dependent on the rate of change of the current (di/dt). As a fundamental research, we investigated the
