A Review of MVDC Circuit Breaker Sub-Station supply for Electrical Traction Vehicle

The networks of Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) Circuit Breakers are being used to supply the Electrical Traction Vehicle from the Electric substation. Thus it becomes important to review the technologies available to isolate the fault in MVDC systems since interrupting Direct current is challenging as compared to Alternating Current because of zero-crossing. This paper reviews available technology in circuit breakers for MVDC and compares them concerning its advantages and disadvantages. This would help Researchers and Industrial experts identify the topology that would work best for upgrading the Electrical Substation MVDC Circuit Breaker for maintaining the reliability of supply to the Electrical Traction Vehicle.
