[0060] Figure 4 A simple linear interrupter comprising contacts 41 housed within a housing 43 is shown in partial cross-section. The enclosure is usually evacuated and is sometimes called an enclosure. The vacuum interrupter comprises an electrode or contact 41 having a slot 42 oriented to generate a magnetic field across the width of the contact such that when current passes through the contact and the contact separates, an arc is formed. Accordingly, the electrical contacts 41 are designed to mechanically engage and disengage to perform a switching function. Usually, this movement is allowed by bellows or diaphragm means 44 without breaking the seal of vacuum envelope 43 . In the example shown, the arc is moved along the length of the contacts by a motor effect. This length is chosen to be sufficient to control the arc until it extinguishes. This may be called a transverse field linear contact and is somewhat equivalent to a radial field circular contact. The contacts 4...
