Abstract

A circuit breaker is properly modeled by KEMA model. This model is created on the basis of Cassie and Mayr classical equations. The precision of this model depends strongly on the precision of its parameters. The calculation of these parameters needs the complex physical analysis and structural data of C.B. In this paper a novel method based on genetic algorithm (GA) is introduced as a method to identify the parameters of KEMA model by using a simple experiment.
