Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This example is to compare the behaviour of switch models with and without an electric arc taking into consideration.

  • Simulate until T=2 s.
  • Plot in one window: switch1.i and switch2.i

The difference in the closing area shows that the simple arc model avoids the suddenly switching.
