Bouncing phenomena of vacuum interrupters
24th ISDEIV 2010, 2010Bouncing is a phenomenon often observed during circuit-breakers operation. The effect occurs at the moment, when the interrupter contacts touch during closing. For vacuum interrupters, bouncing is caused by the oscillatory motion of the movable vacuum interrupter stem in conjunction with the associated contact springs. The dependencies between involved

Review of vacuum interrupter development carried out in London by Vacuum Interrupters Limited
29th Annual Weekend Meeting History of Electrical Engineering, 2001Vacuum Interrupters Limited was founded in 1968. This was a joint venture originally between GEC which inherited the work carried out by English Electric and AEI, together with Reyrolle- Parsons, and later including Hawker-Sidderly (Brush). This paper concentrates briefly on some of the innovative technology developed during the period from 1968-92 ...

Useful Life of Vacuum Interrupters
IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1978A vacuum interrupter may not be called upon to function to interrupt fault current for relatively lengthy periods of time. In the stand-by mode and carrying rated continuous current, some parts of the interrupter may reach temperatures substantially above ambient.

Dynamic insulation in vacuum interrupters
SPIE Proceedings, 1994Breaking capacity of vacuum circuit breakers is limited by dynamic voltage withstanding of their vacuum interrupters in a sense. Dynamic insulation in a vacuum interrupter can be represented externally by their dielectric recovery behavior and the stability of voltage withstanding.
