Abstract
Disclosed are an arc path generation unit and a direct current relay including the same. An arc path generation unit according to various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a Halbach array and a magnet part which form a magnetic field in a space part formed in the arc path generation unit. The magnetic field formed by the Halbach array and the magnet part forms an electromagnetic force, together with the current applied to each of fixed contacts. The electromagnetic force formed near each fixed contact is formed in a direction going away from the center of the space part, or in a direction going away from each fixed contact. Therefore, generated arcs can be rapidly suppressed and discharged through induction by the electromagnetic force.
