Abstract:

In order to explore the arcing characteristics of H2,N2 and H2-N2 mixed media with different mixing ratios,a visual arc experiment platform was built.The "round-tablet-flat" carbon contact structure was designed to stabilize the arc.A high-speed camera was used to capture the arc shape.The voltage and current probe was used to collect the arc electricity volume and test the arc characteristics of different media.The arc voltage composition of the gas arc and the extraction of the near extreme voltage drop were analyzed.The electric field strength under multiple mixed gases was compared.It indicates that the arc voltage increases with the ratio of H2 in the H2-N2 mixed medium,which can provide a reference for the selection of the gas medium of the DC contactor.

Key words: contactor, arcing characteristic, arc extinguishing medium, arc shape, arc voltage
