Abstract

The benefits of a solid state transfer switch in a Custom Power Park have been outlined in Chapter 4. In addition to the transfer switch a combination of power semiconductor switches and passive elements is used to construct solid state current limiting, breaking and transferring devices. The devices that are discussed in this chapter are

  • Solid state current limiter

  • Solid state breaker

  • Solid state transfer switch
