Description

An arc-quenching system is described which is used to automatically extinguish arcs caused by transient or statistical flashover of a high voltage system. A crossed-field interrupter tube (XFT) is employed in a novel manner to activate a low-voltage commutation circuit which interrupts the arc current and reapplies the voltage to the system after a suitable delay
