Low-voltage switchgear busbar fault analysis
In this article, EMS will compute the Lorentz force of a low-voltage busbar system during a short-circuit scenario, comparing the results with analytical solutions. The analysis focuses on a 3-phase busbar system. This paper concerns the effects of electrodynamic forces that act on current paths that are part of high-grade industrial distribution switchgear. To this aim, the multiphysics modelling of busbar systems is presented where the coupled electric–magnetic–thermal–mechanical set of equations are solved numerically using finite-element. This is the case of low voltage (LV) switchboards and of prefabricated transformer-switchboard connections.
