DC circuit breaker combining magnetic induction transfer and resistance current limiting

Abstract

The present invention provides a DC circuit breaker combining magnetic induction transfer and resistance current limiting, the circuit breaker comprising: a main current circuit, a current-limiting branch, a breaking branch, and an energy dissipation branch; the current-limiting branch and the breaking circuit each comprises a magnetic induction transfer module; an inductor in the magnetic induction transfer module of the current-limiting branch and a branch inductor in the current-limiting branch are coupled to form a mutual inductor; an inductor in the magnetic induction transfer module of the breaking branch and a second inductor in the transfer current loop are coupled to form a mutual inductor. The present invention can limit the current rising speed and amplitude and completely turned off the short-circuit current, thereby reducing the size and manufacturing cost of the circuit breaker. The main loop capacitance needs not be pre-charged; isolation between a secondary charging circuit and the main loop is realized; the discharging capacitance of the magnetic induction transfer modules adopt a bridge structure, which may two-way limit and break the fault current.
