Abstract
A Bimetal is a combination of two different metals, which is employed in electrical appliances as a circuit breaker to prevent the overflow of current. The primary objective of this work is to examine the deflection produced in the bimetal component, due to electro-thermal load induced when the current flows through it. Copper and stainless steel are the most widely used metals having different coefficient of linear thermal expansion were taken as a bimetal composition and the same has been compared with Stainless steel and Aluminum. Modeling and analysis of the bimetal component, with different amperes, has been done using ANSYS and resulted stainless steel - Aluminium combination were shown higher deflection during the Analysis.
