Patent number: 11670933Abstract: A momentary circuit interrupter in series connection with a mechanical switch to provide protection against short circuit faults in a DC power circuit. The momentary circuit interrupter injects a transient voltage pulse via a pulse transformer to reduce a DC fault current to near zero in a DC circuit branch, thus allowing the mechanical switch to disconnect the faulty branch under a near zero-current condition. The power electronic circuit on the primary side of the transformer controls the discharge of a plurality of pre-charged capacitors to generate the transient voltage pulse during the fault interruption process, but otherwise does not incur any power loss during normal operation. The secondary winding of the pulse transformer conducts the main DC current, and is highly conductive to minimize the conduction power loss.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Zheng John Shen, Yuanfeng Zhou, Risha Na
