Traditional　electromagnetic　contactor　suffers　from　a　lack　of　controllability　when　opening.　In　this　paper,　the　new　contactor　with　the　controlled　actuator　having　structure　of　segregated　magnetic　path　is　designed,　which　generates　electromagnetic　force　in　opposite　directions.　A　new　control　module　featuring　energy　reclaiming　and　power　management　for　fast　opening　is　proposed.　The　compensation　network　is　designed　by　simulated　results　to　confirm　that　the　voltage　and　current　loop　is　stable　during　energy　storage　stage　and　energy　release　stage.　Cosimulation,　in　which　Multisim　software　simulates　the　circuitry　and　LabVIEW　software　executes　the　model　of　the　new　controlled　contactor,　is　carried　out　to　analyze　energy　reclaiming　strategy　for　the　closed　loop　control　of　opening　process.　The　experiment　is　reported　to　validate　the　accuracy　and　effectiveness　of　the　module　design　and　the　reclaiming　strategy.　©　2018　IEEE.
