Abstract :
THE EXTINCTION of an a-c. arc by the deion grid method has been very successfully applied during the past two years to the design of an extensive line of arc rupturing devices for oil circuit breakers of all voltage classes. Refinements have been made in the theory of operation of deion grids and in the construction of several types. Field operation and special tests have given much information regarding these devices.
