As an alternative to traditional simulation, this project will involve applying data science models to analyze and optimize the factors affecting the thermal performance of high-amperage circuit breakers for industrial applications. The impact of multiple live circuit breakers in the same enclosure needs to be evaluated as a tradeoff between number of features of a model and its complexity. This project team will closely work with Schneider Electric’s engineering innovation and high-power lab teams to review existing data, propose experiment design changes, and create Machine Learning models to achieve the desired performance.
