How to Protect Capacitor Banks?

A capacitor comes in the form of a case with insulating terminals on top. It comprises individual capacitances which have limited maximum permissible voltages (e.g. 2250 V) and are series-mounted in groups to obtain the required voltage withstand and parallel-mounted to obtained the desired power rating.

A Series-Type Hybrid Circuit Breaker Concept for Ultrafast DC Fault Protection …

A new series-type hybrid circuit breaker (S-HCB) concept for dc fault protection is reported that is fundamentally different from other prior-art hybrid circuit breakers (HCB) or solid-state circuit breakers (SSCB) in the literature. The S-HCB conducts its load current through metal wires instead of power semiconductor switches …
