  • Patent number: 10374417
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an arc-free DC circuit breaker that combines magnetic induction transfer and resistive current limiting. The circuit breaker comprises a main current circuit and a transfer current circuit. The transfer current circuit has a bridge structure; with a group of unidirectional components having a breaking function, bidirectional current breaking is implemented, such that compared with the prior art, usage of the turn-off devices may be reduced to half. By controlling action sequences of the trigger gap, high-speed switch, and power semiconductor, fast switching arc-free opening of the main current circuit is implemented; meanwhile, the breaking capability of the circuit breaker is significantly improved. By virtue of the current limiting module circuit inside the transfer current circuit, the present disclosure quickly limits short-circuit fault current, and then reduces the number of parallel groups of full-controlled devices of the breaking module circuit.

  • Patent number: 10297402
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a magnetic pulse inducted transfer-type DC circuit breaker. The DC circuit breaker comprises a main current circuit and a transfer current circuit, the main current circuit comprising a combination of a fast mechanical switch or a mechanical switch with a power electronic device; the transfer current circuit comprises an arrester and a mutual inductor. The voltage generated through a mutual inductor may directly transfer current to the arrestor, thereby eliminating a process of transfer of the current to the capacitor or a power electronic device; it has a high current limiting or breaking speed, with a stability far superior to traditional technologies. The isolation between the capacitance charging unit and the DC system significantly reduces the voltage level and size of the charging unit, and enhances action reliability.
