Abstract：Arc characteristic is one of the key factors for investigating the interruption performances in circuit breakers. In this paper, based on thermal flow field simulation, correlations of the arc parameters including temperature, density, and electric potential during the interruption process of a 252kV puffer-type circuit breaker are investigated. It is found that gas pressure is relatively high in the arc zone, while gas density is low; arc temperature is almost the highest where the electric potential lines are intensive; distribution of gas flow velocity is opposite from that of temperature in the arc zone; shock wave leads to decrease of gas pressure, enlargement of arc radius, and reduction of arc temperature, where the gas flow velocity could exceed the sonic velocity. This research provides a reference for a direct recognition of the gas flow filed distribution and the interaction rule of various arc parameters.
