Circuit breakers play an important role in electrical power system networks. They clear faults and isolatefaulted sections rapidly, clearly and reliably. They are also used for normal load switching. A circuit breaker is aswitching device that is capable of making, carrying for a specified time and breaking current under specified abnormalcircuit conditions such as those of short circuit. High voltage circuit breakers working base is the electric arc thatappears between their contacts when establishing or interrupting the electric current in the circuit.This electric curve isan unpredictable wonder where heaps of physic associations happen in a brief timeframe. Numerous strategies havebeen produced to test the circuit breakers and reproduced bend display.Cassie's and Mayr's electric arc the two modelsfor expository deciding of electric circular segment parameters, which were presented in this paper.Therefore, theoptimization of the operation of high voltage circuit breakers makes necessary a deep understanding of the phenomenainvolved in the appearance of the electric arc. This is to be achieved by means of modelization and simulation tools.Theaim of this paper is to showing the phenomena of the electric arc in high voltage circuit breakers, as well as thedescription of the mathematical, physical and software needs for its modelization and simulation.
