Title: The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory, Design, and
ApplicationShelving guide: Electrical Engineering Dr. Paul Slade
draws from his nearly six decades of active experience to develop
this second edition of The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory, Design, and
Application. This book begins by discussing the design requirements
for high voltage vacuum interrupters and then the contact
requirements to interrupt the vacuum arc. It then continues by
describing the various applications in which the vacuum interrupter
is generally utilized. Part 1 of this book begins with a detailed
review of the vacuum breakdown process. It continues by covering
the steps necessary for the design and the manufacture of a
successful vacuum interrupter. The vacuum arc is then discussed,
including how it is affected as a function of current. An overview
of the development and use of practical contact materials, along
with their advantages and disadvantages, follows. Contact designs
that are introduced to control the high current vacuum arc are also
analyzed. Part 2, on application, begins with a discussion of the
arc interruption process for low current and high current vacuum
arcs. It examines the voltage escalation phenomenon that can occur
when interrupting inductive circuits. The occurrence of contact
welding for closed contacts subjected to the passage of high
currents, and for contacts when closing on high currents, is
explored. The general requirements for the successful manufacture
and testing of vacuum circuit breakers is then presented. The
general application of vacuum interrupters to switch load currents,
especially when applied to capacitor circuits, is also given. The
interruption of high short circuit currents is presented along with
the expected performance of the two major contact designs. Owing to
the ever-increasing need for environmentally friendly circuit
protection devices, the development and application of the vacuum
interrupter will only increase in the future. At present the vacuum
circuit breaker is the technology of choice for distribution
circuits (5kV to 40.5kV). It is increasingly being applied to
transmission circuits (72.5kV to 242kV). In the future, its
application for protecting high voltage DC networks is assured.
Audience This is a practical source book for engineers and
scientists interested in studying the development and application
of the vacuum interrupter Research scientists in industry and
universities Graduate students beginning their study of vacuum
interrupter phenomena Design engineers applying vacuum interrupters
in vacuum switches, vacuum contactors, vacuum circuit breakers, and
vacuum contactors It provides a unique and comprehensive review of
all aspects of vacuum interrupter technology for those new to the
subject and for those who wish to obtain a deeper understanding of
its science and application Scientists and engineers, who are
beginning their research into vacuum breakdown and aspects of the
vacuum arc, will find the extensive bibliography and
phenomenological descriptions to be a useful introduction
