Leveraging simulation to engineer next-gen circuit breakers
How can engineers prevent circuit breakers from overheating and ensure consistent and reliable system performance?
Circuit breakers are essential devices in the modern world and a crucial safety feature for numerous consumer and industrial applications. They protect electrical systems from overheating and fires by interrupting circuits during surges or overcurrents.
However, if the breaker overheats due to excessive loads, faulty wiring, or poor connections, it can fail to manage the heat generated during operation. This severely compromises electrical system safety and reliability.
How can engineers prevent circuit breakers from overheating and ensure consistent and reliable system performance?
Join us on March 27 to see how simulation enhances design accuracy, ensures sustainability, improves overall performance, and shortens development times, making it a vital tool in modern circuit breaker engineering compliant with industry standards such as IEC and ANSI.
Key topics and takeaways:
- Gain insight into the vital role of simulation in assessing thermal, mechanical, and electrical stresses on components and systems.
- See how the integration of simulation in the CAD process allows for a seamless and efficient workflow, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
- Understand how simulation models the integration of circuit breakers with the entire electrical system, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance when integrated into more extensive networks.
