Distribution room circuit breaker energy storage

What will the solid-state circuit breaker enhance?

A technological breakthrough by ABB – a solid-state circuit breaker – will enhance performance of renewable energy solutions, industrial battery storage solutions and so-called edge grids.

Why should I choose the new ABB breaker?

You should choose the new ABB breaker because it maximizes the performance of power distribution systems, improves safety and protection, and eliminates the risk of arc energy exposure. Its speed maintains service continuity, and there is no energy release when the current is interrupted.

What does the solid-state circuit breaker disconnect?

In case of a fault, the solid-state circuit breaker disconnects the faulty zone only, which avoids all the rack fuses blowing up and the resultant shut down of the whole system. The result is maximized plant uptime and minimized revenue losses. Battery storage solutions:

What is a solid-state circuit breaker?

A solid-state circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker that uses solid-state devices to interrupt current instead of traditional electro-mechanical switches. It is around 100 times faster than traditional breakers, maximizing the performance of power distribution systems and improving safety and protection for people and equipment.

How many operations can ABB's solid-state circuit breaker handle?

ABB’s solid-state concept circuit breaker can achieve millions of operations with complete reliability and near-zero servicing. Traditional mechanical circuit breakers, on the other hand, require regular servicing and have to be replaced after about 10,000 operations.

What can 21st century circuit breaker technology do?

Our 21st Century circuit breaker technology can better meet the demands of renewables, the electrification of transport and modern edge grids as today's offerings, said Giampiero Frisio, the head of ABB’s Smart Power business line.
