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 farces 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.
