Abstract

This paper presents a fast solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) for medium voltage dc (MVDC) applications. It makes use full benefits of high-power thyristors in main branch. Applying full-controlled switches in the main and auxiliary branches obtains a complete commutation in the thyristors, achieves a fast fault current interruption, enhances reliability, and provides scalability. The SSCB needs no charge/discharge circuits, resulting in an easy design procedure and a fast re-closing and re-breaking process. The presented topology is validated by experiments of a scale-down 750 V / 585 A prototype, where it achieves the reaction time interval of 800 μs. Meanwhile, peak voltage on main, auxiliary, and load commutation switches is 3.03, 3.026, and 1.17 kV, respectively.
