Abstract EN
A circuit breaker is widely used to protect electric power system from fault currents or system errors; in particular, the opening mechanism in a circuit breaker is important to protect current overflow in the electric system.
In this paper, multibody dynamic model of a circuit breaker including switch mechanism was developed including the electromagnetic actuator system.
Since the opening mechanism operates sequentially, optimization of the switch mechanism was carried out to improve the current breaking time.
In the optimization process, design parameters were selected from length and shape of each latch, which changes pivot points of bearings to shorten the breaking time.
To validate optimization results, computational results were compared to physical tests with a high speed camera.
Opening time of the optimized mechanism was decreased by 2.3 ms, which was proved by experiments.
Switch mechanism design process can be improved including contact-latch system by using this process.
