Determination of protection system requirements for DC UAV electrical power networks for enhanced capability and survivability [PDF]

, 2011
A growing number of designs of future Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications utilise dc for the primary power distribution method. Such systems typically employ large numbers of power electronic converters as interfaces for novel loads and generators.

Quantitative Evaluation of Mechanical Defects for Circuit Breakers Based on Self‐Adaptive Fault Feature Tracking

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many researchers are committed to improving the diagnosis accuracy and solving the few‐shot problem on circuit breakers (CBs). However, the research on the vibration transmission mechanism of the fault is insufficient, which makes it difficult to find the potential design defects of CBs through vibration.

Investigation of the Simplified Equivalent Circuit Model of the Post‐Arc Sheath Stage in DC Vacuum Circuit Breakers

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a simplified equivalent circuit model (ECM) for the post‐arc sheath stage in DC vacuum circuit breakers and outlines the method for calculating circuit parameters using the particle‐in‐cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC‐MCC) method. The post‐arc sheath is modelled as a parallel combination of a variable resistor and a variable

China Suspends Circuit Breakers [PDF]

, 2016
Circuit breakers are designed to slow down (or even halt) panicked selling. However, Chinese authorities recently suspended their newly implemented circuit breakers, as they seemed to be increasing panic (as opposed to reducing it).

Arc Phenomena in low-voltage current limiting circuit breakers [PDF]

, 2010
Circuit breakers are an important safety feature in most electrical circuits, and they act to prevent excessive currents caused by short circuits, for example. Low-voltage current limiting circuit breakers are activated by a trip solenoid when a critical

Post‐Arc Transient Dielectric Recovery Characteristics of Vacuum Interrupter in the Large‐Capacity Generator Circuit Breaker

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐capacity generator circuit breaker (GCB) based on vacuum interrupter technology is the key power equipment to ensure the safe operation of the power system. When the short‐circuit current was forced to cross zero, the large‐capacity GCB was difficult to generate a zero‐voltage environment through freewheeling, the vacuum interrupter (VI)
