Abstract
A coupling between physical are modelling in a circuit-breaker and external circuit modelling is presented and discussed. The former involves Navier-S tokes equations and finite elements. The latter leads to ordinary different ial equations. Both are coupled through the are impedance, a pure resistanc e or a parallel R-C dipole. Comparisons between experimental and numerical results are given and discussed.
