However, the manufacturing process of the vacuum interrupter is crucial. If not properly executed, the vacuum level can degrade. Additionally, using subpar contact materials can lead to "cut-off overvoltage" when breaking the current. This phenomenon occurs because the vacuum interrupter's strong arc-extinguishing ability causes a sudden drop in current from a certain value to zero, rather than allowing the arc current to naturally cross zero. This can result in high overvoltage, potentially endangering the safe operation of electrical equipment.
