Arc Inversion with Genetic Algorithm for Low Voltage Switch
The analysis of the dynamic process for switching arc has a great significance in advancing the utility and operational life of the electrical apparatus. Based on the relationship between the current distribution and the corresponding magnetic field
the arc in the air-circuit-breaker is considered as the superstition of current line with variable diameter.According to the Biot-Savart’s law
the magnetic field distribution produced by the bunch of current lines is calculated
and the mathematical inversion method is adopted to obtain the domain in which the current lines passing through.In consideration of the complexity of inversion expressions and the large number of the number of the unknown quantities
the nonlinear equations are transformed into optimization issues. On the basis of the above research
GA(Genetic Algorithm)is adopted to fix the position of the arc current line in the space. The penalty function is introduced into the optimization process of GA objective function.With this constraints
the ill-posed problem is disposed of effectively.The quantitative characterization of the position and morphologic description for the low voltage switching arc in two dimensional is obtained eventually based on the magnetic field distribution.
