Temperature monitoring system in automated circuit breakers

摘要

Due to weakened electrical contacts in the interior of circuit breakers an undesired phenomenon appears which leads to unwanted effects in the global energetic system. Due to this effect in the circuit breaker, an electrical arc appears which can lead to heating of the respective material and the appearance of network harmonics, aging of materials and influence on the device's functionality. A low cost temperature measurement system in automated circuit breakers has been devised. This system can aid us in identifying the eventual problems during the functioning of the device.
