Abstract:
Naval postgraduate school is leading a multi-discipline team to develop a TRL 6 solid-state circuit breaker rated at 2 kV and 1.2 kA for NASA’s hybrid electric propulsion application. The specific power density target is higher than 100 kW/kg and the efficiency target is higher than 99.5%. The circuit breaker should also have the altitude capability at 35,000 ft or higher. This webinar will cover the application background, design principle and technical solutions to meet such challenging specifications. Especially, the module PD tests results at high altitude and the experimental results with e-MOV technique will be presented and explained in detail.
