Micro-electromechanical switch systems with diagnostic capability using digital model

Abstract

The disclosed technology relates generally to switching devices and more particularly to switching devices employing micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switches. The switching devices can serve as circuit breakers for protecting electrical systems against certain electrical events. The switching devices can be configured to monitor and control one or both the MEMS switches and the electrical systems being protected. The disclosed technology additionally relates to systems including the switching devices and methods of using the switching devices.
