Several parameters have to be balanced for this, including some that have not yet been mentioned such as arc chute height, length and outlet area. The mechanical forces developed in a heavy-duty air circuit breaker are also considerable. A final point concerning the characteristics of the air circuit breaker is that the interrupting technique described above is the only one that does not really depend on the presence of a current zero. If the arc voltage can be made to exceed the supply voltage, the arc will be extinguished, irrespective of whether the current is ac or dc, which makes it suitable for the control and protection of dc circuits.
A modern innovation in this field is the achievement of current interrupting capacity up to 50 kA with the interrupter heads hermetically sealed and lightly pressurised with dry nitrogen. In this type of construction, moisture, which has the most detrimental effect on oil, is kept out which facilitates long service life. Unit ratings upto 145 kV with single interrupter and 245 kV with two interrupters per pole have been developed for transmission application. In an oil circuit breaker, the arc drawn across the contacts is contained inside the interrupting pot and thus the hydrogen bubble, formed by the vaporised oil (gas) is also contained inside the chamber.
7 (a) (b) Fig. 2 Ionisation by Electron Collision: Ionisation by electron collision occurs in a gas by electrons that are directly accelerated by high electric gradients in the arc. In this case, the electron velocities are not only much higher than they would be if they were in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding gas at arc temperatures, but are no longer random in direction and are directed by the electric field. The probability of ionisation by collision is, of course, zero when the impacting electron has less energy than the ionisation potential of the gas.
