Broad Band Radiation Source for Optical Absorption Spectroscopy Measurements in Single Shot Transient Media.

摘要

In order to investigate the post-arc period and the hot gas regions surrounding the electrical arc in circuit breakers, a broad band radiation source has been developed to perform absorption spectroscopy measurements. The radiation spectrum has been characterized both temporally and spectrally in order to determine the best operating conditions to produce an intense and continuous radiation spectrum. Absorption tests have been performed on the hot gas region of a low voltage rail gap circuit breaker.
