This paper proposes impact vibration theory of magnetic contactor moving mechanism and correlation test the bouncing time with the spring load. Mechanical and electrical lifetime is under the influence of impact vibration of magnetic contactor moving mechanism. In shortage of technique, we have experienced many difficulties in magnetic contactor development. By this research, we analyzed total moving mechanism and applied results to optimum 4p magnetic contactor development.

This study proposed design parameters of opening spring of circuit breaker that cut off the over-current in order to protect the electric device about opening speed using the energy method. We simulated the opening kinetic energy, the potential energy of opening spring and the design parameters of opening spring with respect to opening speed of VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker)'s moving contactor which has 24kV 25kA break capacity. From the result of simulation the initial tensional force and the final tensional force of the opening spring chose 107kgf and 282kgf respectively. Through the dynamic analysis using ADAMS, We verified that the opening speed of moving contactor satisfied break capacity of VCB and analyzed opening dynamic characteristics of VCB such as the opening displacement, the opening velocity and the opening acceleration of moving contactor in time domain.

The behaviour of contactors protected by arcs under short-circuit currents is analysed using a simple model to represent the electric circuit and the contactor. In most cases, the protection of contactors against short-circuit currents is entrusted to fuses. Fuses are suitable for preventing excessive damage to the contactor, or parts of the contactor, under short-circuit conditions. In particular, they are capable of limiting the thermal and electrodynamic stresses which can lead to arcing or welding together of the contacts of a contactor. This paper is the Dynamic Motion Analysis of a Moving Contact by Electromagnetic Repulsion Force in Molded Case Circuit Breaker(MCCB)

Electrical equipment in factories, buildings, etc. with the development of the industry has become a large capacity. By the development, electric load also become diversified and there is also highly functional requirements being electrical equipment. Particularly in the small and medium-sized circuit breakers, tend to preferentially consider the economy stands out and improvements in safety, ease of mounting and connection through the modularity of the basic dimensions compact and cost to block expansion of the scope of the development of capacity, etc. The product having a competitive has been strongly required. In order to implement the circuit breakers of breaking capacity and compact at the same time taking into account the economic development of this technology applied to the current-limiting mechanism is essential budget or the current limiting mechanism is currently available mechanisms applicable to small and medium-sized frame (frame) can not do it. In this paper, at the same time satisfying the economic efficiency, by minimizing the load force of the moving contactor (moving contactor) to be applied to small and medium frame other hand to secure the economical efficiency without using high speed contact parting acceleration of the moving contactor conventional current-limiting mechanism, and to develop a current-limiting mechanism that can be satisfied with the same or higher performance to meet the needs of the market.

Impact is the most common type of dynamic loading conditions that give rise to impulsive forces and affects the vibrational characteristics of mechanical systems . Since the real impact force and acceleration at the contact surface are measured indirectly through the sensors, the measured outputs can be a little different from the real impact responses. In this study, the contact force model based on the Hertz law is proposed in order to predict the impact force correctly. To investigate the influence of the position of the sensor attached to the impacting bodies, the two kinds of sensors were used. Finally, the contact force model obtained by drop test was applied to predict the impact force between the moving part and the stopper in magnetic contactor.

A magnetic contactor is a switching device widely used for electric circuits. For the operation of magnetic contactors, magnetic coils are essential; these coils create and interrupt the electric circuit. In this paper, the finite element analysis model was developed to reflect the experimental data, and was verified through alteration of the applied voltages and the numbers of turns. Effects of electromagnetic force on the geometrical variations of the facing poles for fixed and moving cores of two magnet coils were investigated. In addition, effects of slope and air gap size between two facing poles on the electromagnetic force were explored through the distribution of the magnetic flux density in the magnetic coils of a push-type solenoid. Through this analysis, the characteristics of the electromagnetic force against the facing poles were explored.

To prevent an insulator failure, an automatic cleaning and inspection robot was developed for suspension insulator strings. The robot autonomously moves along the insulator string using the clamps installed on its two moving frames. Especially, unlike the existing cleaning robots using jets of water, the robot system adopts a dry cleaning method using rotating brushes and a circular motion guide. In addition, a mechanized brush bristles and a voltage-balancing contactor are devised to increase cleaning efficiency and to prevent arc generation under live-line conditions, respectively. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.
