Investigation to Trigger Failure and Main Electrode Ablation of Vacuum Switch
The conduction and failure mechanisms of a vacuum switch are analyzed by dividing the switch into a trigger mechanism and a main electrode.To understand the failure mechanism of the trigger electrode
the effects of insulation resistance
triggering current and main discharge current on trigger electrode ablation are investigated.The main electrode ablation is analyzed with vacuum arc theory
and the arc development is simulated to observe the main electrode ablation characteristics.The investigation to the trigger failure and the main electrode ablation characteristics can help to deeply understand the conduction mechanism of the vacuum switch.
