Optimization of the Switch Mechanism in a Circuit Breaker Using MBD Based Simulation

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 swi...
