Principle of Vacuum Circuit Breaker. The production of arc in a vacuum circuit breaker and its extinction can be explained as follows : When the contacts of the breaker are opened in the vacuum (10 -7 to 10 -5 torr), an arc is produced between the contacts by the ionization of metal vapors of contacts. However, the arc is quickly extinguished ...
