Driven by the requirements of reducing air pollutant gas emissions and fuel consumption,
the concepts of more electric ship and electric aircraft are attracting increasing attention …

As DC power is now being promoted due to its various advantages over AC power, it is more
suitable to have a DC grid instead of converting DC to AC for consumption due to the …

Solid-state switch is one of the key components of hybrid DC circuit breaker (HDCCB). This
paper proposed a bidirectional solid-state switch which is composed of series-connected …

The voltage clamping components or circuits are indispensable for both solid state circuit
breakers (SSCBs) and hybrid circuit breakers (HCBs) to protect the solid state switch from …

This paper reports on the design and development work of an Integrated Power Module
(IPM) used in an Hybrid Circuit Breaker (HCB) application. Two previously characterized …

This paper presents design and development of a power module used in a low voltage DC
hybrid circuit breaker (HCB). The novel power module is rated for 125 A/380 V and can …

In solid-state circuit breakers, back electromotive forces need to be synthesized across the
breakers to absorb the electromagnetic energy stored in the system inductors and ultimately …

One of the most challenging hindrances to the spread use of the DC grids is their protection
devices. Due to the absence of zero crossing, when a fault occurs, arc extinction becomes …

This paper deals with design and implementation of a practical 4 kV/100 A solid-state circuit
breaker (SSCB) for medium voltage dc (MVDC) applications. Transient current commutation …

The proliferation of high efficiency, high current DC distribution systems is held back by the
limited choices when it comes to solid-state circuit breakers. With this work, we investigated …
