This paper studied the thermal tripping bimetallic strip in miniature circuit breaker (MCB),analyzed the thermal flexivity specialty from aspects of theoretical calculation,experiment and digital simulation,respectively.A new method was proposed for bimetallic strip optimization design,and a platform was established to simulate the thermal flexivity of the bimetallic strips.A set of special fixture was developed and designed for bimetallic strip flexivity performance experiments,the experiment platform and the method were improved.Using numerical simulation instead of part of preliminary experiments,with DOE,the optimal solution of design parameters could be solved rapidly,therefore the investment and time cost were both saved.In addition,the simulation platform could also be used for the collaborative design of operating mechanism parameters,of which the verification objective is tripping force and tripping stroke.
