Spectroscopic analysis of an electric arc
Hartman, Tadeáš ; Kloc, Petr (referee) ; Šimek, David (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with spectroscopic diagnostics of electric arcs. The first part explains the creation and properties of electric discharges, especially electric arcs. Methods for composition and temperature analysis of electric arcs are also given there. The next part deals with practical use of these methods for identification of elements contained in electrodes between which an arc discharge was happening, measurement of the arc temperature and also measurement of the temperature of the electrodes. In the last part, these methods are also used for the analysis of time progression of composition and temperature of an electric arc created on a contactor's contacts with the resistive load.

Investigation on the Interaction between Construction Materials and Switching Arc in Low Voltage Switching Devices
Šimek, David ; Slavíček, Pavel (referee) ; Mindl,, Pavel (referee) ; Kloc, Petr (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is focused on the interaction of construction materials and the switching arc in low voltage switchgear. An issue of selected low-voltage electrical devices, electric arc in electrical devices, and its diagnostics using optical emission spectroscopy and high-speed video are discussed at the theoretical level. The main part of the work is an experimental examination of samples of selected high-performance industrial plastics. A series of tests of resistance to an electric arc were performed on these plastics. The electrical parameters of the switching process, the weight losses of the material of the quenching chambers when applying various power parameters were evaluated from the experiments. The empirical equations were determined for the calculation of the loss of individual materials in a specific configuration. Furthermore, the influence of the used material on the behavior of the electric arc in the extinguishing chamber made of these plastics was investigated. A high-speed video was recorded, the time evolution of the pressure inside the chamber, the electrical parameters of the arc, and the time-resolved evolution of the radiation spectra were measured using atomic emission spectroscopy in these measurements. The relative composition of the plasma was identified from the radiation spectra, and the time evolution of the relative contamination of the discharge area by the main contact material and the selected vapors of the used plastics was created. The last important parameter of the electric arc is its temperature, which was also calculated from the radiation spectra. A comparison of individual plastics and their applicability for applications in contact with electric arc was performed based on the obtained data.

Investigation of correlation between arc voltage and arc movement
Szotkowski, Šimon ; Valenta, Jiří (referee) ; Kloc, Petr (advisor)
The electric arc burns in an ionized gas and is divided into AC and DC arc according to the power supply. The electric arc is conductive, so to turn off the electric circuit, the arc must be extinguished as soon as possible. Arc breakers are used to extinguish the arc. Arc breaker must be designed to withstand the increased pressures and temperatures caused by the arc. The purpose of the bachelor's thesis was to design and construct a arc breaker with the possibility of monitoring the movement of the arc with a high-speed camera. From the measured data, the dependence between the arc voltage and the movement of the arc root was determined by correlation analysis. Correlation analysis is used to calculate the possible existence of a dependence between two quantities with the correlation coefficient and testing.

Temporally and spatially resolved diagnostics of an electric arc
Holcner, Oldřich ; Šimek, David (referee) ; Kloc, Petr (advisor)
This batchelor thesis "Temporally and spatially resolved diagnostics of an electric arc" deals with the investigation of plasma temperature in an arc formed by evaporation of copper wire. It is an optical method based on determination of temperature from intensity of spectral lines. In this batchelor thesis we explain how spectral lines are formed and how to determine the temperature. In the practical part we process discharge and show the time evolution of temperature at the measured points.

Switching arc diagnostics in DC contactor
Píška, Jakub ; Kloc, Petr (referee) ; Valenta, Jiří (advisor)
Cílem této diplomové práce bylo provést diagnostiku vysokonapěťového stejnosměrného stykače se zaměřením na zpětnou komutaci a lepení oblouku, navrhnout a ověřit úpravy, které odstraní tyto negativní jevy. Měření obloukového napětí, tlaku a pomocí rychlokamery byly použity při diagnostice těchto jevů. Změny na arcrunnerech a jhu magnetického obvodu byly využity při jejich odstraňování. Úpravy na arcrunneru zmenšily skokové nárusty délky oblouku a úpravy na jhu navýšily sílu na oblouk mezi rozevírajícími se kontakty. Navrhnuté změny na stykači snížily časovou ztrátu v důsledku zpětné komutace, a tak zkrátily čas přenosu oblouku.

Determination of the Temperature Field in a Real Circuit Breaker
Pěček, Dominik ; Aubrecht, Vladimír (referee) ; Kloc, Petr (advisor)
This master thesis deals with determination of temperature field in a real circuit breaker. This issue is solved by analysis of measured emission spectra at selected points of the circuit breaker. Spectral line ratios and Boltzmann plot are used for calculation of temperature. These methods are based on elemental analysis of plasma. The main result is finding significant changing of chemical composition of plasma beyond determination of temperature field.
