Two basic ways to realise DC circuit breakers

The Journal of Engineering, 2019
As a key element of the DC grid, the technology of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) still have difficulty to be widely used due to its large cost and volume. This paper studies the basic principle and its realisation methods for DCCBs.

Determining the effect of bismuth oxide on the microstructure and electrical response of cold‐sintered ZnO varistors

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Microstructure homogeneity and grain size reduction are needed to ensure the current uniformity and reliability required in metal oxide varistors for DC circuit breakers. Cold sintering (CS)–a low‐temperature digestive liquid and high‐pressure densification process–has previously shown reduced grain growth, but it is not clear how the lower ...

Control strategy of novel hybrid commutated converter based on reverse blocking integrated gate commutated thyristor for commutation failure mitigation

High Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 546-554, June 2025.
Abstract Commutation failure (CF) is an inherent problem faced by line commutated converter high voltage direct current (LCC‐HVDC) technology. To completely solve the problem of CF, we have proposed a novel hybrid commutated converter (HCC) technology based on reverse blocking integrated gate commutated thyristor, which can utilise two methods for ...

Comparison of Surge Voltage Reduction and Economic Efficiency of DC SSCBs According to MOV and RCD Snubber Combination

IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society
Metal oxide varistor (MOV) is a nonlinear resistive element whose resistance decreases rapidly when the applied voltage exceeds a threshold value. A dc solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) uses MOVs or MOV with resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) snubber ...

Mechanism and suppression of breaking overvoltage of DC circuit breakers

High Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 32-46, February 2025.
Abstract The occurrence of breaking overvoltage in a DC circuit breaker (DCCB) poses a potential threat to the safe operation of a DC grid. Based on the structure of the ±10 kV three‐terminal DC distribution network, this paper sets up the medium‐voltage DCCB and formulates a fault protection strategy.

Research on influence of double energy absorptions on dynamic volt‐ampere characteristics of metal oxide varistors

High Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 78-87, February 2025.
Abstract Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) are extensively employed in DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) to suppress overvoltage, dissipate energy and build up voltage after interruption. Despite their widespread use, the performance of MOVs under short‐time, double energy absorption conditions is not well understood, posing a challenge to their application in ...

Cryogenic DC Circuit Breaker Based on High‐Power Press‐Pack IGBT

IET Electric Power Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
This paper presents the performance of cryogenically compatible 3.3 kV/1.5 kA PP‐IGBTs as the main circuit breaker in a hybrid circuit breaker. The 3.3 kV/1.5 kA press‐pack IGBT can interrupt currents exceeding 5.1 kA when immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath. PP‐IGBTs are promising candidates for high‐power circuit breakers in cryogenically cooled power
