AI Technical Summary
Existing DC circuit breakers cannot measure DC current through current transformers, causing leakage protection function to fail.
By employing conductive units and zero-sequence current transformers, a shunt is used to detect DC current and control the circuit breaker tripping. Combined with the zero-sequence current transformer to detect leakage current, the measurement accuracy is improved.
It achieves high-precision measurement of DC current and leakage protection, and has a simple structure and low cost.
