Multiphysics Analysis of a Circuit Breaker
| Launch in external player | ||
| This multiphysics simulation of a common single-pole residential circuit breaker combines electrostatic, transient heat transfer and Mechanical Event Simulation analyses to determine the trip time and behavior. When subjected to an overload condition, the bimetallic strip in the breaker deforms due to Joule heating and trips the mechanism to break the circuit. | ||
