DC systems session summary

The papersa presented in this session covered a very broad range of applications. The first paper covered the application of solid state DC circuit breakers. The second paper covers the problems of paralleling DC power supplies. The third paper covered an approach to generate the low DC voltages and high currents required for large computers. The fourth and fifth papers covered an area that a great deal of work is being done in today. That area is single-ended DC-to-DC converters. I personally prefer to call the basic single ended converters “Uni-polar Inverters.”
