Abstract:

DC circuit breakers have become an essential protection element for DC buses in renewable energy and DC microgrid systems Given that there are no zero crossings in a DC power supply compared to an AC waveform arc extinguishing is a difficult process in DC circuit breakers Solid state switches are proposed in solving this problem but their cost is generally unaffordable in general applications except for marine military and aviation etc Hence commercial and mass produced DC breakers are modified versions of AC breakers This paper details different passive component options for absorbing the energy in the electric arc plasma including the use of supercapacitors
