Comparison of damping techniques for the soft-stop of ultra-fast linear actuators for HVDC breaker applications

This paper assesses the advantages, drawbacks, and overall suitability of different soft-stop techniques to provide smooth deceleration of ultra-fast linear actuators used in hybrid HVDC breaker designs, with the help of FEA simulations. The paper compares active and passive damping techniques in te...
