Abstract: A 3-D transient finite-element method to analyze the short-time withstand current for an air circuit breaker (ACB) is presented. The cylindrical contact bridge is adopted to describe the ...

Abstract: The liquid metal bridge generated at the microspot of the contact has a crucial role in the formation of the arc, which provides the initial energy distribution for the ignition of the arc ...

This article is the first in a series of articles that will help to bring light to the maintenance practices presently applied to power circuit breakers. A list of the most popular tests used; with ...

Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback in a fluent and ...
