There are complex physical phenomena for the interpretation of a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) in a distribution system. Most of the studies of MCCB interruption phenomena were conducted with numerical analysis and experiments. This traditional approach may help improve the performance of the MCCB itself, but it is difficult to find connectivity with other systems. In this paper, the circuit model is proposed and the interruption phenomenon of MCCB is analyzed. The interruption of the MCCB is divided into three sections to deal with physical phenomena occurring in each area. A simplified model is proposed considering the characteristics of each section. Based on this model, the circuit model is proposed. To implement the features of each section, the calculation of physical phenomena is carried out, and this is expressed in the circuit model with resistance and zener diode. Comparing the results of the simulation with the experimental results is as follows. For 7-plates (basic state), the error rate is −5.6% in section II and 16.8% in section III. For 1-plate, the error rate is 36.5% in section II and −17.0% in section III. This case shows much difference from the simplified model in this paper, resulting in the largest error rate. The 7-plates and 5-plates cases, which are available in the general MCCB owing to the shortest distance from the arc, represent a relatively small error rate. Using the proposed circuit model, it is expected that the entire system, including the interruption phenomenon, can be interpreted as a single circuit model.
