Abstract
Method and system for controlling and limiting the damage caused by arcs formed on exposed conductors in electrical distribution equipment involve using the tendency of an arc to move in a direction away from a current source and toward the terminal ends of the conductors. An arc interruption device, or arc interrupter, is placed over the terminal ends of the conductor to capture the arc as it travels toward the terminal ends of the conductors. Within the arc interrupter, the shape of the arc is conformed to geometries designed to stretch and extend the arc to the point where it can no longer be sustained and is extinguished.
