Summary :

A method is proposed to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a magnet release in molded case circuit breaker. With the static field assumption, two grids of the magnetic torque and flux linkage are calculated with the variation of the current and air gap, firstly. Considering the influence of tripping torque, coupled with circuit equation and mechanism motion equation, the dynamic characteristics may be obtained with Runge-Kutta 4 method. Experiments have been done to verify the method, and the difference between the calculated results and the experimental results is below 10%. In addition, the influence of the reaction spring on the protection characteristics is analyzed using this method. It demonstrates that the setting current varies with the initial angle and the stiffness of the reaction spring, and the variation with the initial angle of the reaction spring is closely linear but the stiffness nonlinear.
