Zusammenfassung:A review is given of the physics and engineering behavior of arcs in vacuum and axial gas blast under the conditions found in high-voltage circuit breakers. The topics included are: the zero energy switch; current limiting switches; arc control; the gas-blast circuit breakers; the low-current gas-blast arc; arcing with ablation; interruption dynamics; arc modeling; vacuum as a switching element; the vacuum arc; the constricted arc; and the properties of SF/sub 6/.< >
