Simulation Research on Arc Breaking Characteristics of DC Contactor Under Different Magnetic Field Conditions
DC contactor is the key device to achieve the function of breaking
power switching and fault protection. One DC contactor is taken as an example in this paper
a two-dimensional fluid dynamic model for hydrogen arc characteristics simulation of DC contactor is set up. The influence of such factors on external load circuit
contact motion and non-uniform external magnetic field on the arc characteristics of the contactor is comprehensively considered in this model
and the current and voltage variation curve and the temperature field distribution in the case arc breaking period of the encapsulated DC contactor with different thickness of magnetic steel are simulated and researched. The research results show that under the action of non-uniform magnetic field with different thickness of magnetic steel
the arcing time of internal arc of DC contactor at 450 V/400 A and gas filling pressure of 4 atm (1 atm=101 kPa) is different. With the increase of thickness of magnetic steel
the intensity of magnetic field becomes strong
the arcing time becomes short and the arcing time of the magnetic steel with the thickness of 5.5 mm is the minimum.
