Original Abstract

Protection devices help protect us against things that may go wrong with electricity. Increasing of the electricity consumption goes hand in hand with increasing of living standards. Therefore in the low voltage networks, there are increasing short-circuit currents. Novel technologies imply considerable demand on the performance, security and switching capacity of circuit breakers, respectively. This paper deals with an analysis of thermal losses of a new type low voltage circuit breaker. Thermal losses are computed using the finite element method (FEM).
