Experimental results from a Thomson-coil actuator for a vacuum interrupter in an HVDC breaker

Recent developments in high-voltage direct current transmission technology and the plans for multi-terminals motivate research efforts on the fast DC breaker. A novel concept to interrupt current up to several kiloamperes within a few milliseconds is presently under development, using a vacuum inter...
