Review and Analysis of Voltage Clamping Circuits With Low Overvoltage Ratios for DC Circuit Breakers

Voltage clamping circuits are critical components in most direct-current circuit breakers (dcCBs) to achieve ultrafast dc fault interruptions and an extended lifetime. A key performance index of voltage clamping circuits is the overvoltage ratio, which calculates the peak switching overvoltage over...
