Spectroscopic Measurements of Arc Temperatures in a Model HV Circuit Breaker
Keywords:
optical emission spectroscopy, arc, circuit breakerAbstract
Optical emission spectroscopy was applied to determine radial plasma temperature profiles over the arc cross section of an axially blown arc. Two gases are investigated - technical air and CO2. The diagnostics is based on optical emission spectroscopy in appropriate wavelength ranges containing atomic and ionic lines of oxygen as well as nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Radial temperature profiles are obtained from emission coefficients including pressure measurements and calculated plasma compositions.
