The shift from 1500 V to 2000 V requires a collective industry transition, a move that will enable more power in a smaller footprint and at a lower cost.

This paper presents two high-voltage direct-current circuit breakers that have the capability of interrupting a short-circuit current within several milliseconds. They consist of a current-limit ...

The operational challenges of the high-voltage switches are verified through experimentation. Considerations on the more suitable switch topology and correct design practices for the safe operation of ...
