Circuit breakers

This section describes the general properties of all circuit breaker components in Typhoon HIL Schematic Editor. There are currently 2 different circuit breaker components in Schematic Editor.

Component Not Supported: Circuit breakers are not currently supported in TyphoonSim. Adding circuit breakers to your model will prevent you from being able to run your model in TyphoonSim. Please disable or remove circuit breaker components from your model before attempting to run your model in TyphoonSim mode.

The Typhoon HIL toolchain supports 1-, 2-, 3-phase circuit breakers with advanced control logic. Contactors are modeled as ideal switches (zero on resistance and infinite off resistance) that instantaneously change state upon control input signal change. Two functional types of circuit breakers can be found in the library: Schneider electric Masterpact series and ABB MOE series.

The current version of Schematic Editor offers a selection of the following types of circuit breaker components:

Master pact circuit breakers - Schneider Electric

Motor operated circuit breakers - ABB
