Simulation study on arc motion process of DC miniature circuit breakers

Based on the theory of magnetohydrodynamics, a mathematical model of air arc in the arc extinguishing chamber of a DC miniature circuit breaker was established. By coupling external circuit characteristics and contact movement process, the motion process of the arc was simulated and analyzed. On thi...
