DC circuit breaker (DCCB) is the most promising type of method for fault clearing in DC systems because it isolates the fault while guaranteeing the normal power transmission of the non-faulty lines of the system [5 ]. Capacitor-commutated DCCBs are based on traditional DC circuit breakers [], where the insulated gate bipolar 6

The characteristic where the capacitor voltage in the capacitor circuit breaker needs to be released through the energy release branch is used in this paper. The capacitor in the circuit breaker is controlled to discharge to the fault line.
When closing on a single capacitor bank, the inrush current does not exceed the peak value and the rate of rise of a power-frequency short-circuit, which the breaker must be capable to cope with in any case. Circuit-breaker must feature a very low restrike probability and comply with class C 2 according to IEC 62271-100.
The capacitor bank was re-energized at the voltage peak opposite in polarity with the trapped voltage to simulate the maximum transient. Table II shows the transient voltages for different combinations. Table II. Transient peak voltages for capacitor bank re- energization Cap.
If the capacitor voltage (Uc) exceeds the rated breaker voltage (Ur), a breaker of the next higher voltage rating must be used; e.g. a 36 kV breaker instead of a 24 kV breaker, or two breakers must be connected in series.
Capacitor transients can have a damaging effect on circuit breakers. Figure 9 shows the variation of the inrush for different inrush reactor sizes. It can be seen that with the increase in reactor size, the inrush current decreases. 4050 4100 4150 4200 4250 4300 4350 4400 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 Ipeak, Amps Reactor Size, mH Inrush
