| Research Abstract |
The series of the present research project has proposed the circuit breaker composed of an IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) with the aim of usage under low-voltage DC delivery system. Current interruption imposed on the model circuit breaker revealed that the model circuit breaker successfully interrupted a DC 80A at an interrupting time of 8-9 ms, almost regardless of the time constant of a DC supply circuit. Furthermore, as an evolution methodology, a circuit configuration of circuit-breaker components was contrived to reduce the power loss caused by a forward voltage drop. Based on this design, a model circuit breaker combined with a relay was constructed. The experimental result demonstrated reduction of the power loss. As a further evolution technology, a current suppressing unit was also contrived to decrease the interrupting duty imposed on the circuit breaker. The current suppression proved to have the suppression function of the current during the rising period.
