Abstract
The feasibility of using solid-state technology for certain medium voltage applications is investigated. The application considered is a 7.2 kV contactor unit which despite a number of design problems proved to be technically successful. The solid-state approach, despite its relative complexity and a certain cost penalty, offers the user certain advantages for this type of application. For the moment, however, medium voltage applications are limited by the available power semiconductor performance
