  • Abstract
    A fast dc current breaker circuit is presented and analyzed. Relevant design and control parameters are also derived. Furthermore, logic control implementation and power circuit component protection are discussed. It is shown that a simple control strategy is best suited for static loads at predefined load current levels. Also theoretical results are compared with experimental results.
