“…The plunger position is initialized by the non-magnetic plate, while the spring returns the plunger to the initial position after activation [9,13]. The activation response of a DC solenoid EMA consists of three common periods: a sub-transient period, transient period, and stopping period [3]. In the sub-transient period, the excitation voltage is applied, yet there is still no plunger movement.…”

“…The most important characteristic for short-term regimes is the shape of the EMA's static characteristic, whereas the temperature rise due to the Joule losses produced by the current is the most common limitation for long-term regimes. DC EMAs usually need to achieve a certain force to overcome the initial force of a mechanism [3]. The aim of almost any EMA development is to increase the electromagnetic force with which an actuator acts on a plunger with as fast a time response as possible while maintaining the dimensions as small as possible.…”

The aim of almost any electromagnetic actuator development is to increase the electromagnetic force with which an actuator acts on a plunger with as fast a time response as possible while maintaining the dimensions as small as possible. This paper presents research on the impact of the lower core angle on the force and time response of a DC solenoid electromagnetic actuator. The research method is based on the analytical analysis of the magnetic path of the DC solenoid electromagnetic actuator and a comparison with the numerical simulation results. A transient numerical simulation was performed on a 2D axial-symmetric model of the electromagnetic actuator and included simultaneously solving time-dependent partial differential equations of the electromagnetic actuator’s magnetic, electrical, and mechanical subsystems. The magnetic subsystem was analyzed by the finite element method (FEM) using the ANSYS Electronics software package. The three prototype models with different lower core angles were produced and tested in the accredited Laboratory Center of KONČAR Electrical Engineering Institute. The obtained measurements are compared with the analytical results and numerical simulation results.

“…With the development of computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology, some numerical simulation methodologies have been gradually introduced to the analysis of multibody system dynamics, such as the well-known nite-element analysis (FEA) method [8, 9] and computational uid dynamics (CFD) [10,11]. CAE technology can greatly minimize the numbers of design reversions and test cycles, hence reducing costs and increasing e ciency.…”

The dynamic characteristics of hydraulic operating mechanisms are of great significance to the reliability of high-voltage circuit breakers (HVCBs). Due to the lack of cosimulation models that consider the coupling links of different physics, previous research works were limited to the analysis of some discrete parts. The purpose of this study is to propose a novel technique for the cosimulation of a hydraulic operating mechanism (OM). For that aim, the lumped parameter method is adopted to model the hydraulic system, and the finite-element analysis method is employed for the transmission mechanism. Then, a distributed parallel-type cosimulation framework is applied, and the coupling links between different subsystems are achieved by input‒output variable exchanges with shared memory. Experimental validations and simulation applications are implemented in a 550-kV HVCB. This proves that the proposed cosimulation model can accurately capture the dynamic responses of hydraulic OMs, including predicting the dynamic responses induced under different operation parameters and quantifying important features such as stress distributions and dynamic response evolution patterns.
