Abstract:

Thermal overload protection is an important function of low voltage apparatus.With the simple structure and reliable operation thermal bimetal is used for this function.The design of thermal bimetal is a multi-disciplinary problem involving electrical,thermal,mechanical and so on.This paper takes a certain type of miniature circuit breaker as an example to introduce the method for simulation and design of thermal bimetal.And experimental verification is carried out.

Key words: low voltage apparatus, thermal bimetal, simulation, thermal overload protection
