An alpha-particle decay. In alpha decay, shown in Fig. 3-3, the nucleus emits a 4 He nucleus, an alpha particle. Alpha decay occurs most often in massive nuclei that have too large a proton to neutron ratio.An alpha particle, with its two protons and two neutrons, is a very stable configuration of particles.n alpha-particle decay.

Arc chutes are an integral part of a modern industrial or power circuit breaker. As the circuit breaker contacts open, the arc chute segments, cools, and moves the arc away from the contacts. Moving the arc away preserves the integrity of the contacts for a longer service life. Standard arc chute designs absorb about 80% of the energy released during an interruption. These drawings show a typical arc chute in cross-section: NEW ARC CHUTE TECHNOLOGY The new MASTERPACTÂ® NT and NW power circuit breakers, the P- and R-frame molded case circuit breakers, and COMPACTÂ® NS 630bâ3200A circuit breakers have a unique patented arc chute assembly. In addition to the standard arc chute plates, the arc chutes include a series of metallic
