Series LC DC circuit breaker

High Voltage, 2019
The article proposes a mechanical DC circuit breaker (CB) based on a series LC circuit. It requires two switches (a fast disconnector and an AC circuit breaker), an inductor and a capacitor, and therefore the cost is expected to be low. A series LC circuit is analysed and it is concluded that fault current will always have natural zero‐current ...

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

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

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)
