Popis: The present contribution reports on investigations of electrode temperatures for Cu-Cr butt electrodes exposed to vacuum arcs with sinusoidal currents of 10–20 kA. Near infrared spectroscopy was carried out by means of a fiber optics spectrometer working in the wavelength range from 900 to 1700 nm with a temporal resolution of 1–2 ms. Electrode surface temperatures after current zero were obtained from the relative shape of the spectrum using a Planck curve fitting procedure. Furthermore, electrode emissivities were derived after performing absolute calibration of the spectra. Pyrometric measurements were performed in the spectral range around 2 μm with high temporal but without spatial resolution.
