Abstract :
Non-linear opening switch model with vortex structures is proposed and discussed. It is shown that the current interruption in opening switch is determined not by the change of electrical conductivity but by breaking of a symmetry in initial laminar flow of conducting fluid and the appearance of vortex structures.
