INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL STRESSES IN THE DRIVE SHAFT OF MV VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER

Introduction. In the last 10-15 years a dominant position in the market of medium voltage circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers have taken in which as an actuator mono- or bistable actuators with permanent magnets are used. Such circuit breakers are characterized by simplicity of design, high re...
