Summary :

To one double-breaker model, experimental investigation on blow open force was carried out. It demonstrates that the ratio between the emerging blow open force and arc power F_B/ui decreases with the arcing time, the contact gap has less effect on F_B/ui, and the characteristics of the blow open force are similar when the peak value of the short circuit current is beyond 4 kA. Then, according to the experimental data and conclusions, considering the influence of blow open force, the interruption process of molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) was investigated. It demonstrates the blow open force has significant influence on interruption process and the proposed method is effective to evaluate new design of MCCBs.
