      Abid, Fahim; Niayesh, Kaveh; Støa-Aanensen, Nina Sasaki (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering;599, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      This work contributes to the fundamental understanding of axial voltage distribution of the arc burning inside polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube at very high filling pressures of nitrogen. The arc peak current of 85 A ...
    • Comparison of Different Air Flow Concepts for a Medium Voltage Load Break Switch 

      Støa-Aanensen, Nina Sasaki; Jonsson, Erik; Runde, Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The research and development work towards a compact SF6-free load break switch for the medium voltage range has led to several design proposals. The interruption capability of three different nozzle and gas flow concepts ...
    • Contact and nozzle wear from 100 interruptions for a puffer-type air load break switch 

      Støa-Aanensen, Nina Sasaki; Jonsson, Erik; Runde, Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      One type test requirement for medium voltage load break switches is to interrupt 100 consecutive "mainly active loads". A puffer-type switch with axial-blown arc has been tested according to the 630 A/24 kV ratings. The ...
