Solid State Circuit Breakers with fast acting switching can benefit Navy power distribution systems,in particular those that are power converter based.Such power system’s limited fault current and low inductance complements the solid state breaker’s fast response,and with optimized energy dissipation capability at a switchboard level,a superior system solution can be achieved.Through proper system design,solid state breakers can enable advanced power systems to achieve their full potential for providing loads with high quality power with minimal interruptions.They can also improve conventional AC power systems by limiting fault energy if intelligently applied and coordinated.
