Abstract
An electronic circuit breaker comprises an arc interruption mechanism that would enhance arc attraction to arc plates and would reduce the possibilities of an arc escaping from the arc plates. The arc interruption mechanism includes an enhanced arc extinguishing chamber. The arc extinguishing chamber includes a plurality of arc plates having first and second sides. The circuit breaker further comprises a stationary contact plate that includes a first arc runner disposed near the first side of the plurality of arc plates. The circuit breaker further comprises a load terminal that includes a second arc runner disposed near the second side of the plurality of arc plates. As an arc is attracted by the plurality of arc plates and the arc enters the plurality of arc plates, a length of a current path associated with the arc is reduced through the first arc runner and the second arc runner by reducing a resistance of the current path for the arc or by reducing a voltage across the circuit breaker.
