Research on Thomson Scattering Diagnosis of Electron Number Density of Gas Arc in Different Gas Medium
alternative gas has attracted more and more attention. And the insulation characteristics of various gases are an important parameter concerned. However
due to instability of arc
it is difficult to measure the electron number density of the arc discharge in the circuit breaker. The electron number density is an important parameter to determine the successful interruption of the circuit breaker. As an optical diagnosis method for plasma
Thomson scattering has such the advantage as high accuracy without the assumption of equilibrium state. In this paper
the Thomson scattering method is
used to measure the radial electron number density distribution of the arc formed by pulling the arc in the air
