MATLAB MODEL OF A VACUUM SWITCH FOR THE ANALYSIS OF OVERVOLTAGES AND OVERCURRENTS DURING THE SWITCHING PROCESS OF CAPACITIVE CIRCUITS

Abstract

In the paper, the MatLab model of a vacuum switch is proposed. Sample results of the simulation of switching processes of capacitive circuits obtained with the use of the above model are presented. The overvoltages and overcurrents that appear during the switching process are analysed.<br/><br/>
