A Novel Breaking Strategy for Reduced Response Time of Electromagnetic Contactor by Reverse Voltage Application

This paper proposes a novel breaking strategy for dramatically shortening the response time of a single, stable electromagnetic contactor. A reverse voltage was applied across the excitation coil to increase the decay velocity of the magnetic field in the iron core, leading to a dramatic reduction o...
