Abstract:The fault of power circuit breaker (PCB) can lead very serious problems, especially in high voltage-power grid. The structure of contacts may be composed of main contacts and arc contacts, and this structure can avoid ablation of main contacts efficiently. It is necessary to study the eroded state of the arc contacts and the dynamic contact resistance of arc contacts to estimate the operating state of the PCB. The wear of contacts contains arc ablation and mechanical wear through the characteristics of contact… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
