With virtual prototyping technology, the simulation model for the operation mechanism of MCCB can be built, and experiments have verified the model. With 3-D finite element analysis, the electrodynamic repulsion force varied with the current and contact gap can be calculated. Then, with the existence of electro-dynamic repulsion force, the 3-phase short circuit interruption process of the MCCB has been investigated with the influence of prospective current, mechanism starting motion time and blow open force. It demonstrates the proposed method is effective and is capable of evaluating new design of MCCB products. Keywords Interruption characteristics, blow open force, operation mechanism 1 (MCCB)
