Abstract
The mechanism unit, arc chamber and trip unit are imperative components of MCCB which will decide the level of performance of MCCB. Among them, Arc chamber unit is used for extinguishing arc rapidly of fault current and induce the arc inside of grid. At that time inducing arc will split into parts and cooled rapidly so the arc would disappear. This paper suggests new arc chamber unit to improve arc extinguishing performance with optimum design and are applied to actual products based on the results.
