| Abstract | Interruption in mechanism of the generator circuit breaker is a main cause of an overload impact and fracture of lever arm, resulting in suspension of the power plant’s electricity transmission. Recently, shear pin has gained more interest owing to its ability to be a force-transmitting and break-away parts. Herein, finite element simulation analysis was investigated using Abaqus explicit software. Three-dimensional (3D) model of the lever arm and clevis pin were simulated based on actual dimension and velocity for analysing stress and force between the lever arm and pin due to impact. Notch and hollow pins with different shear cross-sectional areas were also simulated using the similar model. Deformation, energy dissipation, and failure load of various shear pin dimensions were investigated to yield the suitable shear pin for preventing lever arm’s fracture. The great potential notch pin with 6 mm in-depth to protect the lever arm from damages could be assumed. |
