DC Combinations by DC Back-up Fuse and DC Vacuum Switch
The objective of this paper is to propose a DC combinations composed of a DC vacuum switch and a DC back- up fuse in series. The DC interruption characteristics of the proposed combinations are simulated and experimentally investigated. The DC combinations is able for a full-range DC current interruption. The vacuum switch is responsible for load current and over-load current interruption based on an artificial current zero technology. The back-up fuse is responsible for short-circuit current interruption. The fault current can be interrupted by the back-up fuse directly or first the fault current be limited to a low level by the fuse
then the vacuum switch is used. Experimental results show that the DC vacuum switch can interrupted a DC current from200 A to 1.7 k A in 5 ms
the back-up fuse can interrupted 1.7 k A and above.
