Abstract
The flux density Bct is applied at the center area of the electrode. The flux density Bct is adjusted within the range A of 0.75 to 0.9 times greater than the axial flux density Bcr which gives the lowest arc voltage between the electrodes against each breaking current. The axial flux density monotonously increases from the center to the circumferential area of the electrode. Here, the radial position where the axial flux density Bcr which gives the lowest arc voltage Vmin is adjusted within the region B of 20% to 40% of the radius of the electrode. The axial flux density is made monotonously increase in an outer area from the region B and give the maximum value Bp in a circumferential area equal to or beyond 70% of the radius of the electrode. The maximum value Bp is adjusted within the range C of 1.4 to 2.4 times greater than the flux density Bct given at the electrode center.
