Abstract

In the optimum design of AC contactors, it is important to analyze the dynamic behavior. Moreover, movable contact and core bounces have remarkable effect on the lifetime of contactors. According to a kind of intelligent contactor with feedback mechanism, this paper builds two different sets of periodically inter-transferred equations. The equations describe the coupling of the electric circuit, electromagnetic field and mechanical system taking account of the influence of friction. And with virtual prototyping technology, the dynamic behavior of the contactor can be obtained. The paper introduces the contact resistance to investigate the bounce of the contact.
