Abstract
Considerations in applying circuit breaker protection to DC systems are capacitive discharge, circuit breaker coordination and impacts of double ground faults. Test and analysis results show the potential for equipment damage. Solutions are proposed at the cost of increased integration between power conversion and protection systems.
