Solid state circuit breaker (SSCB) | Application
Discover STMicroelectronics'' solid-state circuit breaker solutions for energy generation and distribution.
With advancements in the wide-bandgap semiconductor technology, solid-state circuit breaker variants are taking on a bigger market share. Wide-bandgap semiconductor switches have lower on-state losses and higher efficiency during normal operation compared to silicon-based semiconductors.
...ABB has invented a revolutionary solid-state circuit breaker concept that meets the highest demands of renewable energy solutions and industrial energy storage systems?
Solid-state circuit breakers are faster, can be dynamically adjusted and can be connected to the intelligent network and monitored remotely. They can be used in various applications, including residential, commercial and industrial AC systems.
Solid-state technology guarantees an extremely fast interruption and clears a fault in a few microseconds. In comparison, a mechanical circuit breaker with the same frame size takes a few milliseconds. ABB's solid-state circuit breaker can detect and respond to a short circuit fault 100 times faster than a mechanical circuit breaker.
