AI Technical Summary
Existing hybrid high-voltage DC circuit breakers are complex and costly, mainly due to the need for three pulse discharge systems and two bridge circuits, resulting in large size and high cost.
A pulse discharge circuit is adopted, which realizes the fast mechanical switch opening function through the tripping commutation turn-off circuit, the current transfer branch realizes the transfer of fault current, and the voltage limiting and energy dissipation branch realizes the forced turn-off of thyristors, thus simplifying the circuit structure.
It reduces the circuit complexity and cost of circuit breakers while improving breaking reliability, making it suitable for fault protection in high-voltage DC power systems.
