Abstract(in English) This paper is devoted to simulate the arc movement in the simplified chamber of low-voltage circuit breaker. Based on a group of governing equations, a three-dimensional (3-D) arc model is built and solved by a commercial code. According to the simulation results, an arc shrinkage phenomenon happens near the electrode and the head of arc column in x-z plane looks somewhat like part of an ellipse. A 'bulge' visible in the front of the arc column and a trail in the rear are described in detail. Additionally, accompanied with some interrelated experimental data, the influence of external magnetic field and geometry configurations of the arc chamber on the arc motion is also discussed and analyzed.
