Abstract

The aim of this paper is to understand the influence of radial and axial clearance in the revolute joints on the overall performance of a circuit breaker. A circuit breaker mechanism is made of seven links, seven revolute joints with clearance in both radial and axial direction, four unilateral contacts with friction, and it has forty-two degrees of freedom. The Moreau-Jean nonsmooth contact dynamics (NSCD) numerical method is used to perform the simulations. The numerical results are validated by careful comparisons with experimental data.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The polarization effect is created by two aspects: the presence of radial clearance in the revolute joint and the forces acting on the parts.

    Definition 1. Polarization is the contact position between the two parts under the influence of an external force in an equilibrium stage.

  2. 2.
