High voltage DC protection of high voltage DC next generation smart datacom power distribution with solid state hybride circuit breakers and arc fault detection modules (AFDM)

While the speed of operation of conventional circuit breakers for equipment (CBE) is suitable for the majority of modern day equipment applications, ultra-sensitive solidstate circuitry typically found in telecom power distribution applications will often require faster switching protection under overcurrent conditions than electromechanical CBEs can achieve.
