This paper is a general review of research studies with computer simulations of electric arc in electric circuit breakers, taking into account the magnetohydrodynamic model of electric arc and there are described the formation and the decay of discharge channels in alternating current arcs of Imax = 500 A in atmospheric pressure and in a model system, designed with the ANSYS-Fluent software. Diagrams of mass velocity, temperature and current density distributions are presented. An ultra-fast digital camera (20 000 frames/s) was used in the experimental studies.

W artykule przedstawiono przegląd badań dotyczących komputerowej symulacji łuku łączeniowego w wyłącznikach, przy wykorzystaniu magnetohydrodynamicznego opisu modelu łuku. Opisano też powstawanie nowych i zanikania starych kanałów wyładowczych w łukach prądu przemiennego Imax = 500 A, palących się w powietrzu (ciśnienie atmosferyczne), w czasie symulacji palenia się łuku. Podano wykresy rozkładów prędkości masy, temperatury i gęstości prądu. W eksperymentach zastosowano ultra-szybką kamerę filmową (20 000 k/s).
