MATLAB: How to implement a circuit breaker for electrical purposes in Simulink

Question

Hello,

I am simulating a power distribution network, and I am trying to simulate the protection. But I struggle to attach a circuit breakers to the circuit, because they mainly require a digital inputs and from what I understand, they can be used only for electronic purposes. How can include a circuit breaker in my network?

Answer 1

Breaker Block takes a Simulink Signal as input but the signal in the circuit is a Physical Signal. So, it must be converted to a Simulink signal before feeding to Breaker.

Physical signal can be converted to a Simulink signal using PS-Simulink Converter block.
