Arc Quenching
In an opening operation, the main contact that exists between the contact laminations 22.3 and the heat cylinder
22.41 is opened (Fig. 6, position
b).
The arcing contact, consisting of the pin 22.9 and the tube contact 22.11
remains closed, with the result that the current commutates onto the arcing contact.
