Calculation and Measurement of Circuit Breaker Opening Force
Circuit breaker opening force is very important to circuit breaker’s structure design and mechanism life analysis. In this paper
three methods for calculating circuit breaker opening force are presented. The first method calculates the opening force on the basis of measured strain of circuit breaker’s drive link. The second method calculates the opening force by fitting the opening motion curve to obtain the opening acceleration. And the third method inversely derives the opening force from the spring force of operating mechanism. Taking some circuit breaker for example
the opening forces are calculated with the three methods and compared. The results show that the impact load of the circuit breaker is 2.0
