Abstract: In one aspect, a hybrid circuit protection device for current-limiting a fault current between a source and a load during a fault is provided. The hybrid circuit protection device includes an input configured to couple to the source, an output configured to couple to the load, a return configured to couple the source to the load, a main switch configured to selectively couple the input to the output, a switching network coupled in parallel with the main switch, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine that the main switch has opened in response to the fault current, where the fault current has an initial value, and activate the switching network to current-limit the fault current to less than the initial value during the fault.

Abstract: There may be two active snubbers for direct current (dc) solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs): metal-oxide-varistor with resistor-capacitor-switch (MOV-RCS) and active-MOV with resistor-capacitor-diode (AMOV-RCD). In the snubber branch, either half- or full-controlled switch can be used, leading to four topologies. The improved snubbers offer several improvements: 1) MOV is disconnected from the power line during SSCB OFF-state, which enhances reliability as neither voltage nor power appears on MOV; 2) voltage utilization rate ηv of the main switch is remarkably increased, which improves efficiency and power density, and reduces design cost shows experiments of five prototypes are conducted including four proposed snubbers and a comparison with conventional MOV-RCD snubber.

Abstract: A device, including: a sensor circuit that senses the state of contact impedance of a mechanical electrical switch; and a switch-off circuit that represents a sensed high impedance contact of the switch as a low or constant impedance, where the sensor circuit detects an open or closed condition of the switch by sensing a voltage across the switch passing a threshold value.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hybrid circuit breaker having a bridge induction transfer structure, characterized in that the circuit breaker comprises a main current circuit, an over-voltage limiting circuit, and a transfer current circuit; and the main current circuit, the over-voltage limiting circuit, and the transfer current circuit are connected in parallel. The induction transfer circuit in the transfer current circuit comprises an induction transfer inductor, an induction transfer capacitor, and an induction transfer branch power semiconductor device which are connected in series; the transfer current circuit further comprises a bridge circuit comprised of a main loop capacitor; the main loop inductor and the induction transfer inductor are coupled to form a transformer. The present invention can implement fast breaking of the current, and effectively reduce the volume and manufacturing cost of the circuit breaker. With the induction transfer circuit, fast current transfer is implemented. The main loop capacitor needs no pre-charging. Isolation between the secondary charging circuit and the main loop is implemented. The transfer speed is fast, and the breaking reliability is high.

Abstract: A power supply control apparatus includes a DC power supply including a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a load electrically connected to the DC power supply, a relay connected to a current path from the positive electrode to the negative electrode through the load in series, a switching device connected to the current path in series, and a controller controlling the relay and the switching device. The controller, in a case in which the current path is to be electrically cut off, switches the switching device to an Off state and then switches the relay to the Off state.

Abstract: A load or a generator is connected to an energy line, e.g. a ring feeder of an energy distribution network by using a switching system. For this purpose, the switching system has a thyristor circuit, which is connected in parallel to a disconnect switch and connects the transformer of the switching system to an energy line. Thereby an efficient disconnect switch can be realized, which can be dimensioned depending on the power of the load or generator.

Abstract: A two terminal arc suppressor for protecting switch, relay or contactor contacts and the like comprises a two terminal module adapted to be attached in parallel with the contacts to be protected and including a circuit for deriving an operating voltage upon the transitioning of the switch, relay or contactor contacts from a closed to an open disposition, the power being rectified arid the resulting DC signal used to trigger a power triac switch via an optoisolator circuit whereby arc suppression pulses are generated for short predetermined intervals only at a transition of the mechanical switch, relay or contactor contacts from an closed to an open transition and, again, at an open to a close transition during contact bounce conditions.
