Abstract:

In the evaluation of DC breaking capacity and low frequency AC breaking capacity,there are general opinions in the industry:AC is easier to break than DC for the same voltage and expected short-circuit current due to the existence of natural zero crossing point of AC.This paper compares and analyzes the degree of difficulty of DC breaking and AC breaking at different frequencies,especially the comparison with AC breaking capacity of low frequency.It is concluded that with the decrease of AC frequency,AC breaking is more difficult than DC.

Key words: direct drive fan, DC breaking capacity, AC breaking capacity, breaking capacity comparison, natural zero crossing
