Prospects of regenerative current breaking in DC circuit breaker topology

Due to the stunning advancement of power electronics, DC system is getting immense attention in field research. Protection and hereafter protective devices for application are two vital areas that need be explored developed further. Designing a device such as circuit breaker possesses lot challenges. The main challenge interrupt current which does not have natural zero crossing like AC has. In addition, energy stored network inductances during normal operation. Instantaneous breaking opposed by this tripping, hence, all topologies proposed literature use snubber network, nonlinear resistor dissipate heat However, it possible store momentarily reuse later developing an improvised topology. paper, prospects recovery was studied new topology with regenerative capability had been proposed. This can feed back into same after thus improve overall efficiency.
