Abstract

See full text

Solid-state circuit breakers (SSB) have a fault current limiting function that limit the fault current in power applications. It allows sustained overcurrent for a certain period while preventing the fast fault current increase in dc systems. For the conventional method of using switches alone to limit the current, the high loss results in a short withstand time and low current limiting capability of the SSCBs. Disclosed are various embodiments for a control strategy to use one or more energy absorption components to handle the major part of the energy during a current limiting stage to increase the current limiting capability for series-connected SSCB switching cells.
