peer agreement (net): +4arc chute; interrupter chamber Explanation: This is an area in high voltage switchgear (as in a power substation) where a high current is interrupted through the opening of the switch contacts. The resulting arc must be quenched, usually through a blast of air or other means, within this space, since the arc is a continuation of the current through the air or other dielectric surrounding the contact set. The target terms above are from the hard copy "Dictionnaire Malgorn des sciences et techniques, FR/AN, Daniel Gouadec, 7th ed., p. 100. Online, check out Switchgear and its links in Wikipedia, or commercial brochures. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-05-16 22:01:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- When I was a young engineering student, I had a summer job cleaning these switch contacts and inspecting the interrupter chambers for the New Brunswick (Canada) Electric Power Commission.
