The invention provides a bidirectional series
hybrid DC circuit breaker and a control method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
power equipment. The bidirectional series
hybrid DC circuit breaker comprises a
main branch, a charging circuit and a
voltage injection unit. The
main branch comprises a mechanical switch, a current-limiting
inductor, a first
coupling inductor and a secondary winding; the
voltage injection unit comprises a
capacitor, a first H-bridge unit, a second H-bridge unit, a first
coupling inductor primary winding and a second
coupling inductor; and one end of the charging circuit is connected with the
main branch, and the other end is connected with the
voltage injection unit for charging the
capacitor. In addition, the invention also provides a control method of the bidirectional series
hybrid DC circuit breaker. According to the bidirectional series
connection type hybrid
direct current circuit breaker provided by the invention, the
capacitor is charged by recovering the residual exciting current in the
coupling inductor, and the voltage of the capacitor and the exciting current of the
coupling inductor can be recovered to the initial state, so that self-weight starting is realized, and fault current can be bidirectionally broken.
