COMPOSITION OF THE PLASMA DURING THE ARC EXTINCTION AND STUDY OF SOOT DEPOSITION IN A LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH VAPORS COMING FROM THE EROSION OF WALLS AND CONTACTS

ABSTRACT
The aim of this work is the study of the carbonaceous and metal soot deposits in a low voltage circuit breaker. The deposits on the walls of the circuit breaker were analyzed by Raman Spectroscopy, X-Rays Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). These experimental results were confronted with the theoretical predictions of a computer code of multiphasic equilibrium composition of the arc plasma in extinction.
