Design of Arc-shaped Spring for Circuit Breaker Contact Blade
Structure and working principle of arc-shaped spring in a circuit breaker are described and analyzed. The main advantages of the arc-shaped spring are stable contact pressure
high fatigue limit and long life. Taking the spacial arrangement in circuit breaker
compression ratio and tensile strength of the arc-shaped spring into consideration
a method for designing the arc-shaped spring is presented in this paper
including three steps as follows: ①Determining the projection length of the arc-shaped spring on the contact blade according to the spacial arrangement of the contact blade; ② Determining the cross section dimensions of the arc-shaped spring on the basis of width of the contact blade and tensile strength of the arc-shaped spring; ③Calculating the proper compression ratio of the spring to provide stable contact pressure. The proposed design method is verified by an example.
