The influence of the splitter plates on the high-current arc roots formation in low voltage circuit breaker is investigated. One arc quenching chamber model is designed, where the shape of the splitter plates can be changed. The capacitor bank circuit is used to provide the test power supply, and the effective value of the prospective short circuit current is fixed to 10kA. High speed CCD camera is adopted to record the arc images during the arcing duration. Arc current and voltage are also measured to analyze the arc characteristics. In addition, a simplified 1-D thermal-electric model is developed to investigate the influence of the splitter plates on the distribution of the current density of the arc plasma with the assumption of local thermal equilibrium (LTE). It shows that the distance between the arc initial ignition location and the splitter plates is crucial to the arc root formation.

With measuring the arc current, arc voltage and arc images, the high-current air arc commutation process across the separated electrodes was investigated. It shows that the existence of a short stable arc in the gap may increase the current commutation time. According to the energy balance of the arc column, the conditions to maintain the short stable arc were introduced and the effects of the current limiting resistance on the current commutation process were discussed.

Compared with traditional static anonymous communication networks, the P2P architecture can provide higher anonymity in communication. However, the P2P architecture also leads to more challenges, such as route, stability, trust and so on. In this paper, we present WindTalker, a P2P-based low-latency anonymous communication network. It is a pure decentralized mix network and can provide low-latency services which help users hide their real identity in communication. In order to ensure stability and reliability, WindTalker imports "seed nodes" to help a peer join in the P2P network and the peer nodes can use gossip-based protocol to exchange active information. Moreover, WindTalker uses layer encryption to ensure the information of relayed messages cannot be leaked. In addition, malicious nodes in the network are the major threat to anonymity of P2P anonymous communication, so WindTalker imports a trust mechanism which can help the P2P network exclude malicious nodes and optimize the strategy of peer discovery, tunnel construction, and relaying etc. in anonymous communications. We deploy peer nodes of WindTalker in our campus network to test reliability and analyze anonymity in theory. The network measurement and simulation analysis shows that WindTalker can provide low-latency and reliable anonymous communication services.

An important factor determining the performance of delay tolerant networks (DTNs) is packet delivery delay. In this paper, we study the block delivery delay of DTN with the epidemic routing scheme based on random linear network coding (RLNC). First, simulations show that the influence of relay buffer size on the delivery delay is not as strong in RLNC-based routing as it is in replica-based routing. With this observation,we can simplify the performance analysis by constraining the buffer of the relay node to just one size. Then we derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of block delivery delay with difference equations. Finally, we validate the correctness of our analytical results by simulations.

To measure the arc motion in interruption process of low voltage molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) more precisely, a set of novel 2-D optical fiber system is developed. To improve the spatial resolution of optical fibers, lens with inhomogeneous dielectric is fixed on the top of each fiber. Furthermore, the full hardware control logic facilitates the real-time, synchronous and high-speed processing and breaks through the restricted bus operation frequency range and data stream capacity of microprocessor. The Publisher-Subscribe behavioral design pattern is applied to the software and the loosely coupled relationship between glyph and experimental data is once established, the graphic configuration can be implemented for simulation analysis, and the flexibility and applicability of the whole system are obviously improved. It demonstrates that the system provides a better research technique especially for new generation MCCB with gas driven arc.

The interrupting characteristics of low voltage current limiting circuit breakers have directly relationship with the magnitude and distribution of magnetic field produced by contact system and splitter plates. In order to analyze the influence of configuration of contact system on current limiting characteristics, 3D magnetic field of arc chamber (including contact system, arc, splitter plates) is calculated. Furthermore, the electromagnetic repulsion force of movable contact is also calculated. The results can be used to improve configuration of arc quenching chamber. The cooperation between operating mechanism and electromagnetic repulsion force is also analyzed in this paper.

In order to get the knowledge of gas dynamics in interruption process of molded case circuit breakers, a quenching chamber model with gas-driven arc is proposed. The two-dimensional optical fiber digital testing system has been used to measure the arc current, arc voltage, pressure in the quenching chamber, and the movement of the arc when interrupting the 10 kA prospective current in different conditions. The influence of venting conditions, the configuration of splitter plates and gassing material characteristics on the performance of gas-driven arc has investigated. It demonstrates that the performance can be improved effectively by the ways of closing the bottom venting, adopting shorter splitter plate configuration, and POM and Nylon gassing materials.
