ABSTRACT:
A vacuum arc discharge device comprises a rod array structure of interdigitated, continuous current-carrying electrodes and arc electrodes, with an assembly of movable contacts near one end of the device respectively coupled to the continuous current-carrying electrodes. Continuous and fault currents are thus divided among the contact assemblies, reducing total magnetic force tending to separate the contacts and increasing current capacity of the device.
