Closing time = period between starting (command) of the closing movement and
the moment of contact touch in all poles.
Opening time = period between starting (command) of the opening movement and
opening of the last pole.
Arcing time = period from the start of the first arc to extinction of the arcs in all poles.
Break-time = period between starting (command) of the opening movement and
extinction of the arc in the last pole to become extinct (= opening time + arcing time).
Close/Open time = period in an OPEN/CLOSE cycle between the moment of con-
tact touch in the first pole during closing and the time when contact touch has been
cancelled in all poles during subsequent opening.
Dead-time = period from the end of the current flow in all poles up to the start of cur-
rent flow in the first pole.
