The paper presents the results of investigation of bridging phenomenon occurring at opening of electrical contacts. The mathematical model describing the dynamics of metal molten bridge takes into account the Thomson effect. It is based on the system of partial differential equations for temperature and electrical fields of the bridge in the domain containing two moving unknown boundaries. One of them is an interface between liquid and solid zones of the bridge and should be found by the solution of the corresponding Stefan problem. The second free boundary corresponds to the shape of the visible part of a bridge. Its definition is an inverse problem, for which solution it is necessary to find minimum of the energy consuming for the formation of the shape of a quasi-stationary bridge. Three components of this energy, namely surface tension, pinch effect and gravitation, are defined by the functional which minimum gives the required shape of the bridge. The solution of corresponding variation problem is found by the reduction of the problem to the solution of the system of ordinary differential equations. Calculated values of the voltage of the bridge rupture for various metals are in a good agreement with the experimental data. The criteria responsible for the mechanism of molten bridge rupture are introduced in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
