Abstract
The Design of are quenching parts of molded case circuit breakers depends on the utilization of strength and distribution of the magnetic field by which the arc is forced. The magnetic field causes the are to move into a set of V-slotted iron grids, where the are is extinguished rapidly. This paper present the effective method 10 design V-slotted iron plates of the are breaking chamber of molded case circuit breakers. This magnetic force was calculated by using the flux densities in the arc which are obtained by three dimensional finite element method, as a result of that this paper verified by testing that a grid model which has biggest magnetic force is excellent in the are quenching ability.
