Abstract
Vacuum arcs and their applications are discussed. A brief history of vacuum arcs is presented. Cathode phenomena, column phenomena, and anode phenomena in vacuum arcs are summarized. Applications of vacuum arcs-especially vacuum interrupters (vacuum circuit breakers (VCB), vacuum switches) and vacuum arc generated coatings are given. Those readers desiring further information on specific topics are referred to several excellent books.
