Analysis of Electromagnetic Repulse Forces of MCCB

배선용 차단기의 전자 반발력에 관한 연구

It is necessary for calculation of repulsion forces acting on the closed electric contacts flowing over-current. e.g. inrush current and overload currents, to do optimum design of switching devices. In this paper. the forces and flux densities generated by currents at the contact point when circuit breakers are in closed state are obtained by using 3D finite element methode. To be convinced of the results, we measure electrogmanetic repulsion forces on contacts by measuring voltage between opened contacts in MCCB
