    Modeling an earthing switch for a High Voltage Impulse Generator

    Originally tried to do the dynamic flight but found the algebra for that to be far too complicated. I considered a state-space approach but do not have enough knowledge to pull that off. Ended up just doing a static force analysis to find the friction between the solenoid armature and the...

    Modeling an earthing switch for a High Voltage Impulse Generator

    Hi All, I am trying to model this mechanism for a project. It is a switch that uses a solenoid to break the contact by lifting the aluminium arm. I understand that there is most likely software out there that can do this but i would like to understand how to model this from first principals. I...
