Evaluation of a switching device behaviour during short-circuit current
Fendrych, Martin ; Dostál, Lukáš (referee) ; Valenta, Jiří (advisor)
At work, I focused on the principle of electric arc extinction in low voltage devices. I particularly focused on the issue of magnetic switches. Next, I processed by the theory site issue of contact system in magnetic switches. In the practical part of my work, I was testing modular low voltage circuit breaker type of 2B and 10B. Testing was carried out in the laboratory of switchgear. I observed the movement of the contact and electric arc, which was burned between them and conductor wall. Observation was recorded by using a high-speed camera and an oscilloscope. Of acquired waveforms, I evaluated the dynamics of contacts, electric arc length and the value of the arc voltage for different moments.

Usage of high-speed camera in the area of switching arc
Samohejl, Matěj ; Bušov, Bohuslav (referee) ; Valenta, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on optimizing recording of electrical switching arc in magnetic switches by high-speed camera. Measurements were performed on the circuit breaker 10B without removed side case, which was subsequently cowled by neutral density filter. The voltage and current of the circuit breaker contacts were acquired by measuring system of the Laboratory of switching arc diagnostics. The energy source was motor-generator with a nominal power 16 MVA and test bench consisting of a capacitors and inductors, which have been tuned to the resonance frequency of 50 Hz. Evaluation of the measurements was taken with regard to the brightness distribution levels of the record. Results showed that the mean brightness value varies on the square of the current passing through. For proper localization of the arc, it is necessary to appropriately set the camera exposure. The main problem usually is to darken the scene enough. It was found that it is necessary to take into account that brightness level change depends nonlinear on the exposure offset. The thesis gives a proposal to determine the exposure shift of the record. The possibility of usage high-speed camera to determine the temperature distribution in the arc using the brightness equiintensities was also designed. There are mentioned suggestions how to improve recording of the arc in circuit breakers, especially in the arrangement of the optical parts.

Electric arc in the switchgear
Kutal, Ondřej ; Dohnal, Petr (referee) ; Bušov, Bohuslav (advisor)
This thesis focuses on description of creation, properties and behavior of an electric arc in the switchgear. In addition, it focuses on description how an electric arc can be created and how it effects contacts in electrical switchgear. Electric arcs is divided into arc with DC or AC. Quenching of the electric arc supplied by DC is more difficult than in case of AC since the DC does not pass through zero value. For the design of quenching chamber it is important to know the characteristics of the electric arc under both conditions. The behavior of static V-A characteristic of the electric arc supplied by DC was determined with experimental measurements using the equation by Ayrton. Subsequently, measurement of the dynamic characteristics of the electric arc with AC were determined. And the limits values for the emergence of electric arc were measured of. Last, the results wereevaluated and expansion of measurement task was proposed. The numerous influences on the arc were described. In conclusion the thesis extends diagnostic of the arc under the laboratory conditions.

Study of arc root movement in a model of the LV quenching system
Fendrych, Martin ; Aubrecht, Vladimír (referee) ; Valenta, Jiří (advisor)
Thesis focuses on the basic characteristics of plasma, problems about origin of electrode spots and electrodynamics force acts on the electric arc. In the practical part was realized and produced model of a LV quenching system. Using optical diagnostics was received necessary data to analyze the movement of the electrode spots. The movements of the electrode spots were analyzed in terms of value RMS current passing through the electric arc, value of absolute pressure model in the LV quenching system and distance from each electrode.

Enhancement of optical diagnostics of the switching arc
Samohejl, Matěj ; Kloc, Petr (referee) ; Valenta, Jiří (advisor)
This master´s thesis si focused on determinig methodology of optical diagnostics of the switching arc using the high-speed camera Photron SA-X2. The thesis contains basic rules for proper setup of the measurement system and the rules to adjust the camera exposure. The experiments were performed on the prototype of a parametric switching chambre, while the majority of source materials was derived from the requirements of another study which was aimed on the movement of the electode spots. The process of the first adjustment of the camera, a record edit options for the presentation purposes and the process of the 3D model design of the switching arc in SketchUp software was stated. Paper contains a comparsion of the spectral filter effect and neutral density filter effect on the final record as well. The part of the work outputs are the 3D model of the switching arc and the supporting record editing software. The paper results show a degree of the inaccuracies in a optical diagnostics made from only one direction caused by the lack of the information about third dimension.

Experimental verification of properties of circuit breaker quenching chamber
Kadrnka, Petr ; Vávra, Zdeněk (referee) ; Valenta, Jiří (advisor)
The circuit breakers are able to switch on and off automatically either the short circuit currents up to the limits of their breaking capacity. While the disconnection of the contacts in the switching devices are generated by the arc then it is needed to put it out quickly. A manner of the arcing in the electrical switching devices is influenced by several different factors. It must be taken into account the dynamics of a plasma, a current flowing in the electrodes, a flowing stream in a plasma and a magnetic field generated by a flowing current. This paper is devoted to describe the manner of the arcing in the arc chamber. The experiments carried out in an experimental way attempt to explain, specify and thoroughly comprehend the movements and the characteristics of the arc in a metal arc and in a metal enclosure circuit breaker.
