Design of a snubber circuit for low voltage DC solid‐state circuit breakers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs) are designed to interrupt fault currents typically several orders faster than its electromechanical counterparts. However, such an ultrafast switching operation would produce a dangerous overvoltage which might cause damages SSCBs and other elements in the system. This paper proposes novel snubber for suppressing overvoltage. It takes advantages of both resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) snubbers metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Its operating process is analysed before proposed 400V DC designed. Pspice simulator employed simulating prototype SSCB with built tested lab-scale The results simulation experiment validate effectiveness snubber.

متن کاملLow Cost μC Based Dc-Dc Boost Converter with Passive Snubber Circuit
this brief introduces a method of improving the power conversion efficiency of a dc-dc boost converter with passive snubber circuit. This method uses a passive snubber circuit which consists of two inductors, a capacitor, and a diode, to reduce switching loss. The use of passive soft switching methods has been emphasized as better alternative to active methods mainly because they do not require...
