Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the prior art, the CuCr alloy used in the vacuum contact material is produced by powder metallurgy process, and the arc ablation-resistant phase Cr in it is in a disordered state, and the directional conduction of the conductive current inside the contact cannot be realized. flow, limited control of the vacuum arc cathode spot by the magnetic field can only be achieved by external design
At the same time, the magnetic field intensity generated by the external structure is low, which reduces the effective area of ​​conduction under rated conditions, and the high temperature rise makes the rated current capacity of the vacuum circuit breaker unable to meet the needs of large-current and high-voltage power grids.
