Abstract:

This paper uses SolidWorks software to establish a simplified bimetal model,and uses ANSYS simulation software to simulate the simplified model,and obtains the bimetal temperature distribution and the maximum shape variables.At the same time,the corresponding bimetallic sheet is completed.And the experimental analysis of the real object is carried out.By comparing the simulation and experimental results,the maximum temperature error is 0.4k and the time to reach stable temperature rise is the same,which verifies the accuracy of the simulation method.At last,the experiment and simulation of bimetal sheet with different welding process is carried out,and the influence of different welding process on bimetal sheet temperature rise is obtained.

Key words: miniature circuit breaker (MCB), bimetal, simplified model, temperature rise simulation
