چکیده
An arc modelling is a valuable and useful tool to evaluate the switching performance of lowvoltage switching devices (LVSDs) during breaking operation before testing real products. Moreover, it helps improve interruption capability of LVSDs and optimize them. This paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the arc behavior in AC devices before zero current and prediction of the re-ignition after current zero based on the simulated arc voltage. The 3-D arc modelling is based on the conventional magnetohydrodynamics theory and it considers the motion of a contact, arc root, radiation and air properties which vary with the temperature and pressure.

This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...
