Effect of the Let-Through Energy of Overcurrent Protective Devices on the Temperature of Conductors during Short-Circuits
Published by 1. Stanislaw CZAPP, 2. Daniel KOWALAK, Gdańsk University of TechnologyORCID: 1. 0000-0002-1341-8276; 2. 0000-0001-9610-9884 Abstract. The scope of the verification of low-voltage systems covers the earth fault loop impedance measurement. This measurement is usually performed with the use of low-value current meters, which force a current many times lower than the one occurringContinue reading “Effect of the Let-Through Energy of Overcurrent Protective Devices on the Temperature of Conductors during Short-Circuits”
Influence of the Position of the Electrical Contact on the Size of the Temperature Distribution
Published by Dušan MEDVEĎ1, Ján ZBOJOVSKÝ2, Technical University of Košice. ORCID: 1. 0000-0002-8386-0000; 2. 0000-0003-4383-3996 Abstract. This paper deals with the investigation of temperature field distribution around the high-current electric contact. The analyses of temperature field were realised in simulation environment ANSYS and provide better understanding why the electrical contact position influences the heat dissipation.Continue reading “Influence of the Position of the Electrical Contact on the Size of the Temperature Distribution”
