[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]I. What is Arc Quenching?[/COLOR]
Arc quenching refers to the process of rapidly extinguishing an electric arc to prevent damage. It involves:- Detecting arc formation (using sensors & monitoring systems).
- Interrupting the current flow (via circuit breakers, fuses, or arc suppressors).
- Extinguishing the arc (using insulating gases, magnetic fields, or specialized contacts).
