I put a breaker model in my circuit. And i found that it closes when the current is zero and the external signal is 0.
The circuit is a systhetic circuit usually used for circuit breaker. I add a half sine current on the breaker, and then put a very high voltage Oscillating voltage on it. The half sine current (20kA) meets zero at the 0.01s, and the extern signal for breaker is 0.009s, which means that it will open at the 0.01s. And it actually did. The Oscillating volatge source is added at 0.011s. However, when I reduce the half sine current to about 5kA, something magical happened. The breaker closes again and there is another current that flows through the breaker. And this problem still existed even when I changed the time stamp to put a very high voltage Oscillating voltage to 0.015s as I thought it needed enough time to open the breaker.
I really want to know why this happens and how to solve the problem that the breaker doesn’t opens as i think.
Here is the current that flows through breaker.
