Simulation of Switching Arc Using Modified Mayr Arc Model

Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on interaction between arc length. And a black box arc model based on modified Mayr arc equation is developed to describe the influence of arc length on arc voltages. In this model, the coefficient of arc power loss is defined to be depending on the arc length. The numerical analysis is performed on EMTP. The behavior of arc is represented using Thevenin type-94 component of MODELS.
