Project abstract

The PhD project is aimed to investigate the fundamental physical and chemical aspects of the ablation (outgassing) process of polymers used to improve the performance of switching power components (e.g. breakers, contactors). Thus, this multidisciplinary project is intended to study experimentally and theoretically the mutual interaction between ablating polymers and plasma arcs under current levels typical of faults in low voltage systems.
