Simulation and Analysis for New Contact System of Control and Protective Switching Based on Ansoft Maxwell

Abstract:

CPS (control and protective switching) one of the smart integrated include the function of circuit breakers, contactors, and low-voltage electrical appliances. The contact system is different from the traditional low-voltage electrical function. Well-designed structure of the contact system has important practical significance for overall performance of CPS. The paper proposes a new contact system. The simulation analyze the electrical repulsion of the traditional contact system and a new contact system under different current size, breaking time, blowing arc magnetic field analysis by electromagnetic simulation software. According to the results of the simulation comparison, prove that the new contactor structure making the function of CPS increased.
