Vacuum interrupters based on transverse magnetic field contacts now are widely used in medium voltage circuit breakers. The arc motion under the transverse magnetic field (TMF) plays a decisive role in the interruption. In this paper, we focus on the movement of vacuum arc driven by TMF and anode thermal process during the arcing. Then, based on th...
