Vacuum Interrupter (Breaking part of a VCB) The core part of a Vacuum Interrupter is the 'Contact'. The contact is strong against the withstand voltage and has little contact wear rate, because it is made of the 'CuCr' material and it adopt the spiral shape contact structure. With unique structure, the spiral shape contact lead the arc, drawn between the surfaces of contact, to rotate around the contact. So, it prevent the partial heating and strong against the contact wear and the breaking time is short.
