Arc suppression is the reduction of the electric arc[1][2][3][4][5] energy that occurs when current-carrying contacts are opened and closed. An electric arc is a man-made, continuous arc-discharge consisting of highly energized electrons and ions supported by an electric current of at least 100mA; not to be confused with an electric spark.[6]
