Abstract :
The design and application requirements for solid state distribution current limiters and circuit breakers are described and compared to those for the electromechanical switchgear used in present day distribution systems. Control strategies are provided for current limiting application in the power transformer main circuit and for current limiting and interruption for the bus tie location.<>
