Arc behavior visualization
Product downsizing and enhanced breaking performance

For compact, high-performance power distribution and switching equipment, it has become an important technical challenge to execute control in a space-saving manner while also predicting the behavior of arc when contacts open and close. Therefore, we have used arc simulation technology to visualize arc behavior by combining thermo-fluid analysis and electromagnetic field analysis. By performing validation and optimization at the design stage, we have achieved both downsizing and high breaking performance.
