Abstract

The article discusses the main features of mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical processes occurring in the contact zones of the surfaces of contact connections of electrical devices. The parameters determining the value of power losses and power consumption in low voltage switching equipment are analyzed. The main features of the characteristics of the topology and technical condition in the operating conditions of the equipment of shop low-voltage industrial power supply networks are shown. A comparative analysis of the technical characteristics of automatic circuit breakers. Using catalog data, the dependences of active power losses in circuit breakers on rated currents are established. Algorithms have been developed and the obtained dependencies have been modeled using approximating functions. The standard deviation of the compiled approximating functions is calculated. Analytical expressions of the dynamics of power losses per pole in the studied machines of some companies of the function of the rated current are presented. The graphical dependencies of the investigated parameters of low-voltage equipment are presented. The developed models are recommended to be used to increase the reliability of the assessment and refinement of the amount of active power and electricity losses in low-voltage electrical networks of industrial power supply systems.
