The contamination process of a model vacuum interrupter was investigated by measuring the amount of contamination and conducting direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) evaluations. The numerical simulations revealed suitable results, and the simulation model could be used to predict the contamination profile. In addition, appropriate results for designing arc shields were obtained from a parametric study of the DSMC assessments. © 2021 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
