Methods and systems for DC current interrupter based on thermionic arc extinction via anode ion depletion

A method of thermionic arc extinction via anode ion depletion the method comprising:

• inserting a system for thermionic arc extinction via anode ion depletion into at least a circuit breaker, the system including:
• a fixed terminal end including at least a fixed conductor containing at least a fixed contact;
• a moveable terminal end including at least a moveable conductor containing at least a moveable contact;
• and
• a body including an inner compartment, wherein the inner compartment includes:
• at least an arc shield housing at least two arcing contacts;
• the at least two arcing contacts including at least an anode contact and at, least a cathode contact, wherein the at least two arcing contacts are fabricated with a first conducting material having a first vaporizing point and a second conducting material comprises steel having a vaporizing temperature from about 2700 degrees Celsius to 2900 degrees Celsius;
• separating the moveable contact from the fixed contact in parallel to separating, the anode arcing contact from the cathode arcing contact;
• restricting a flow of electrons from the anode arcing, contact to the cathode arcing contact;
• and
• extinguishing an arc.
