Abstract
The vacuum arc under various distributed axial magnetic fields (AMF) is obs erved by a high speed charged coupled devices camera. Through the images, t he influence of AMF distribution on vacuum arc behavior is investigated. Th e result shows that a proper nonuniform distributed AMF can control the vac uum arc to distribute more uniformly on the contacts and it could be helpfu l for finding a more effective AMF distribution.
