Affecting the function of thermal release of circuit-breakers for different connection systems
Lednický, Ján ; Vetiška, Vojtěch (referee) ; Dostál, Lukáš (advisor)
Right function of securing electrical installations is one of the most important factors preventing people, animals and electrical devices themselves from being electrocuted. Circuit breakers with an overcurrent tripping unit work with bimetal. When the bimetal is warmed up enough, it causes disconnection of circuit. This prevents people and animals from being harmed. To make overcurrent tripping unit work the right way, we have to minimise unnecessary disfunction factors caused by thermal thaw and Joule´s heat. This thesis is aimed at gaining general knowledge of heat transmission and transition of electrical current into heat. There are going to be made temperature-rise curves using all available connection sets to evaluate the impact of each one on the tripping unit. Then, a temperature profile of the circuit breaker will be made using a simulation made using SoildWorks Flow Simulation program. Finally, critical places of the current path will be observed.
