To obtain a various distribution of airflow velocity, the axial position of a nozzle and the inlet width of the nozzle were varied. For each of the axial positions and each of the inlet widths, arc interruption tests for ac currents were performed to measure the interrupting capability. Furthermore, the distribution of airflow velocity in the quenching chamber was calculated intentionally in the absence of the arc. From the test and calculation results, we found out a definite relationship between the velocity distribution and the interrupting capability.}, pages = {101--106}, title = {Dependence of arc interrupting capability on spatial distribution of airflow velocity in air-blast flat-type quenching chamber}, volume = {18}, year = {2003} }
