    Invention Patent Descriptive Report for DEVICE TO LIMIT AND / OR INTERRUPT ELECTRICAL CURRENT THAT FLOWS THROUGH AN ENERGY DISTRIBUTION OR TRANSMISSION LINE.
    [001] The present invention relates to a switching module arranged to be used in a device to limit and / or interrupt the electric current that passes through a power distribution or transmission line, where the switching module comprises at least at least one semiconductor switching element, a gate unit arranged to turn the semiconductor switch on or off, at least one semiconductor switch, respectively, according to a switching control signal, and an energy storage capacitor arranged to store power, which is arranged to supply power to a door unit power supply input.
    [002] The present invention originally relates to the field of high voltage direct current (HVDC) circuit breakers and limiters, that is, switching devices capable of limiting and / or interrupting the flow of direct current (DC) in a power transmission line, where the line has a voltage level above 50 kV. However, the invention is also applicable to circuit breakers for medium voltage DC power distribution, that is, for a DC voltage range between about 1 kV to 50 kV, and two-way configurations of the invention are still applicable to circuit breakers for transmission and alternating current (AC) power distribution at any voltage level.
    [003] In EP 0867998 B1, a solid state DC circuit breaker is described, comprising a parallel connection of at least one main power semiconductor switch and a non-linear resistor working as a lightning rod When the DC circuit breaker is operated to initiate

    2/27 interrupt a DC current in a DC transmission or distribution line, the at least one main power semiconductor switch switches the DC current to the non-linear resistor, which then reduces the DC current, dissipating the accumulated energy in the line CC. In PCT EP2009 / 065233, another DC circuit breaker is presented, which in parallel with the parallel connection of the main power semiconductor switch and lightning conductor, contains a series connection of a high speed mechanical switch and at least one power semiconductor switch. help.
    [004] In practice, such DC circuit breakers, to be applicable to the voltage level of power transmission or distribution systems, need to include a considerable number of main power semiconductor switches, connected in series, since a single semiconductor switch of energy has a relatively small nominal voltage. The number of main power semiconductor switches, connected in series, can easily reach hundreds, in the case of an HVDC voltage level of several hundred kV.
    [005] With respect to the present invention, both main power semiconductor switches, as well as possibly auxiliary power semiconductor switches possibly present in a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter, each represents a switching module, that is, it comprises, in addition to one or more power semiconductor switching elements, a door unit and energy storage capacitor. Such switching modules are described in detail, for example, in EP 0 868 014 B1, where the energy storage capacitor is connected via a DC / DC converter to a power supply input of the door unit. The energy stored in the capacitor is transformed via a DC / DC converter into a DC supply voltage, which is required by the door unit to turn the switching element on and off

    3/27 power semiconductor. The energy storage capacitor is connected to the so-called high voltage primary circuit, that is, it is connected to the same circuit and, therefore, to the same high voltage level as that of at least one semiconductor power switching element of that particular switching module. . Whenever the at least one power semiconductor switching element is in the locked switching state - that is, non-conductive - the energy storage capacitor is charged.
    [006] With respect to DC circuit breakers and DC current limiters containing semiconductor switches of main or auxiliary power, this known way of supplying the door units seems to be problematic because, under normal operating conditions, it is assumed that the DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter drive for long periods, preferably for a year or more, without requiring any switching operation. Therefore, at least part of the power semiconductor switching elements is permanently conductive, hence it does not provide the blocking state, which allows the required recharging of the corresponding energy storage capacitors. This makes it difficult to ensure that a sufficient amount of energy is supplied to the port unit of the semiconductor switching elements to be operated. In addition, putting a DC circuit breaker into operation usually causes the corresponding power transmission or distribution line to be disconnected from the DC network, which leaves the primary circuit at zero voltage. Therefore, charging or recharging the energy storage capacitors of the switching modules of a DC circuit breaker will only be possible in rare and brief periods, when the circuit breaker is open. If non-repeated and regular charging of the energy storage capacitors is not guaranteed, then, therefore, the reliability of the corresponding DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter will be consideredPetition 870190045114, of 14/05/2019, p. 6/39
    4/27 significantly reduced.
    [007] A different solution, to supply power to the semiconductor power switch port units, is known from medium voltage converter applications, where a remote power source is used via transformers, that is, the power source works independently of the primary circuit. However, this solution cannot be applicable to a high voltage level for design and cost reasons, since the insulation of each pulse transformer must withstand at least the rated DC voltage, which in high voltage applications means hundreds of kV. In the case of high voltage DC circuit breakers, the surge voltage during an opening action requires an insulation level almost twice the DC voltage.
    [008] It is an objective of the present invention to bring a solution for a switching module for use in a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter, in particular, for HVDC applications, with which the reliability of the switching module and, therefore, the DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter must be increased.
    [009] This objective is achieved with a switching module that additionally comprises an energy transformation means arranged to receive energy via an optical energy signal, and to transform the optical energy signal into an electrical energy signal, and to provide the electrical energy to the energy storage capacitor.
    [0010] According to the invention, the power source of the door unit is provided independently of the voltage conditions in the primary circuit, providing an optical energy source to the energy storage capacitor. With that, charging and discharging of the energy storage capacitor can occur regularly over predetermined periods, ensuring that there is always enough energy for the door unit to operate the corresponding switching element.

    5/27 power semiconductor, whenever required. The operability and reliability of the DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter with such a switching module thus increases substantially. As an optical energy signal is used, that is, light, via fiber optic cable, instead of the electrical energy signal, the isolation problem of the pulse transformer solution, described above, can be overcome.
    [0011] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the optical power signal is a low power signal - less than 1 Watt. As low power equipment usually has higher reliability than high power equipment, the use of a low power optical power source helps to increase the reliability of the switching module even more.
    [0012] If a low power optical power source is used, certain measures must be taken to help keep the door unit's internal power demand at a low level. A preferred means of doing this is to reduce the number of functions performed by the door unit to a minimum.
    [0013] As mentioned in the introduction, current DC circuit breakers or DC current limiters, which are applicable to medium and high voltage levels of DC power distribution and transmission systems, must contain a considerable number of switching modules connected in series . In series connections, the question of equal voltage distribution during dynamic and transient processes is important to avoid unwanted voltage stresses in some of the switching modules, due to the different switching characteristics of the semiconductor switching elements of different power modules. switching.
    [0014] One of the functions that known port units perform in high voltage converter valves, where in the valves several semiconductor energy switches are connected in series, and
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 8/39
    6/27 each energy semiconductor switch is equipped with its own gate unit, to ensure an equal voltage distribution between the switches connected in series, during dynamic and transient processes.
    [0015] This function, according to a preferred configuration of the invention, is not performed by the door unit, but instead by an RCD suppressor circuit, in the switching module, and connected in parallel to at least one switching element power semiconductor. The RCD suppressor circuit comprises at least one resistor, at least one capacitor, and at least one diode. RCD suppressors are known in the art and, for example, are described in WO 96/27230. RCD suppressors can be arranged for both unidirectional and bidirectional switching modules (see below), where the unidirectional RCD suppressor comprises a series connection of a diode and capacitor for a current direction, with a resistor in parallel with the diode, and the bidirectional RCD suppressor comprises, in addition, a serial connection of a diode and capacitor to the other current direction, again, with a resistor in parallel with the diode.
    [0016] When the semiconductor switching element is switched off, the current, which passes through the switching element, is accumulated via one of the suppressor diodes that corresponds to the current direction, for at least one suppressor capacitor. As described in the introduction, a DC circuit breaker typically contains a group of several switching modules connected in series which together are connected in parallel with a non-linear resistor working as a lightning rod. A DC current limiter contains several of these groups. When a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter is operated, the switching modules of these groups are switched off simultaneously. Consequently, the same current switching in the suppressor circuit occurs for all of the control modules.
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 9/39
    7/27 mutation connected in series by group. As a result, the suppressor capacitors in each group are charged until the sum of the damper voltages per group is high enough for the suppressor in that group to pick up current. When groups of switching modules are switched on again, the damping capacitors are discharged via corresponding damping resistors, producing losses, which, however, are not relevant for DC circuit breaker and DC current limiting applications, due to the rare occasions of an action of operation.
    [0017] In addition to the equal dynamic voltage distribution, the RCD suppressor has some additional advantages. Due to the presence of at least one capacitor in the RCD suppressor, the rate of voltage rise in the corresponding power semiconductor switching element is limited. As a result, individual switching characteristics, such as, for example, individual switching off delays of the power semiconductor switching elements, which may differ between switching modules connected in series, are no longer of concern.
    [0018] In addition, the limited voltage rise rate brings advantages along with the parallel connection, described below for the IGBT or BIGT modules, since, again, different switching delays are no longer a problem, hence, eliminating the risk of harmful high frequency oscillations between modules. In general, it can be established that, due to the RCD suppressor, it is possible to connect IGBT or BIGT modules in series or in parallel, without at the same time having to provide a complex door unit, which requires an appreciable level of energy to manage a equal voltage distribution and possible high frequency oscillations.
    [0019] An additional advantage of the RCD suppressor is that, when the switching element is switched off, the damping capacitor makes
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 10/39
    8/27 the voltage starts at zero, that is, the switching takes place at zero voltage. As a result, a smaller amount of instantaneous losses will be generated during shutdown, therefore, during the operation of the DC circuit breaker and / or DC current limiter. The reduced losses allow a higher switching current and / or a greater number of switching events to be repeated before the thermal limit of the power semiconductor switching element is reached.
    [0020] In an additional configuration of the present invention, the gate unit is connected to the gate of the power semiconductor switching element by an H bridge, which produces and emits the bipolar DC voltage required to drive the gate of at least one gate element. power semiconductor switching, where the H bridge is powered by a unipolar DC voltage and emits a symmetrical dipolar DC voltage, for example ± 15 Volts. According to this configuration, the door unit can operate internally with unipolar DC voltage, opposite the door unit, as shown in EP 0868 014 B1, which operates internally with dipole DC voltages, and therefore from two sources internal energy sources. Using unipolar DC voltage, the internal power demand of the door unit is further reduced, and is better suited for use with a low power supply level. When two internal power sources are used, instead of an H bridge, non-symmetrical DC voltages can be produced by the door unit, for example, + 18 and - 5 Volts.
    [0021] According to another additional configuration of the present invention, the switching module further comprises a control signal detector, which is arranged to separate the electrical power signal from an electrical control signal and provide the electrical control signal to the door unit. In other words, a control signal, which comprises, in particular, the control signal
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 11/39
    9/27 mutation to start the gate unit to turn on or off the at least one semiconductor switching element of power, is incorporated in the same optical signal, which also contains the energy signal, and still remains in the electrical signal after signal transformation by means of signal transformation. In this way, the need for a fiber optic cable can be eliminated.
    [0022] According to a further configuration of the invention, the switch module door unit is arranged to generate status information with respect to the functionality of at least one of the elements of the switch module, and the switch module comprises a means additional signal switching, arranged to transform the status information into an optical information signal, and send the optical information signal to a central control unit. The status information is sent optically, because the switching modules are in a DC breaker and DC current limiter application with a high voltage level (up to several hundred kV). The use of optical communication simplifies the design, and increases the reliability of the communication system.
    [0023] Providing status information to a central control unit allows the central control unit to manage each connected switching module individually, for example, returning a control signal to initiate a specific test routine, in the event of a suspicious status reported, requiring further investigation. The central control unit generates, at the same time, the aforementioned control signal, which initiates connection and disconnection of at least one semiconductor power switching device. In DC breaker and DC current limiting applications, the switching of switching modules can be delayed up to tens of microseconds, until a sufficient number of switching modules are ready to switch, because the effective operation of the switch
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 12/39
    10/27 DC coupler and DC current limiter need to occur less instantly, for example, than in a converter application. As a result, it can be ensured that the switching modules are switched on or off as simultaneously as possible. In other words, by exchanging status information with the control unit, it is possible to implement an interchange protocol between the central control unit and the switching modules of the DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter, where exchange protocols arm and synchronize the door units, and send a control signal to turn on or off, only when all or - in case of redundancy - a sufficient number of modules are ready.
    [0024] The at least one power semiconductor switching element of the switching module can be of a different type or design, depending on the operating requirements and cost of the DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter, where the switching module is to be used . In the following, some preferred types will be briefly described, suitable for use in either DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter, or unidirectional and bidirectional. For application in a DC circuit breaker or bidirectional DC current limiter, the unidirectional power semiconductor switching elements must be arranged in the opposite current direction, that is, for an antiparallel or antiserial direction to the original power semiconductor switching element.
    [0025] In a unidirectional type of at least one power semiconductor switching element, the switching element comprises a first module transmitting a first IGBT or a first connection of several IGBT, as well as a first diode or a first parallel connection of several diodes, where the diode or diodes are connected in antiparallel with IGBT or parallel IGBT connection. If one of several IGBT and diodes connected in parallel
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 13/39
    11/27 are used, depending on the current level to be achieved with the power semiconductor switching element, that is, the greater the number of IGBT and diodes connected in parallel, the greater the nominal current, where all IGBT connected in parallel are controlled with the same door unit.
    [0026] A semiconductor switching element of bidirectional power can be achieved by connecting an appropriate number of modules in antiparallel or antiserial connection, where an antiparallel connection is possible in the case where the IGBT has a reverse blocking capability. In other words, the switching module then additionally comprises at least one second module connected in antiparallel or anti-serial with the first module, the second module containing a second IGBT or a second connection of several IGBT and a second diode or a second parallel connection of several diodes, where the diode or diodes is or are connected again in antiparallel with IGBT or parallel connection of IGBT.
    [0027] The first and second modules can in practice be based on different concepts of arrangement of IGBT chips and diodes. Each module corresponds to a single set with IGBT integration and corresponding antiparallel diodes or all parallel IGBTs, connected in the same current direction, are integrated in one set, and all parallel diodes connected in the same current direction are integrated in another set. This last design overcomes the problem that can occur in connection with the first design. In the first drawing, the diodes of different assemblies may come from different production cycles, and therefore, may differ slightly in characteristics, such as direct voltage drop. As the diodes have a negative temperature coefficient, different drops in direct voltage can produce undesirable current flows between the diodes, which produce the so-called temperature
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 14/39
    12/27 diode, that is, an increase in temperature due to the current flow, which further increases the flow of energy and current. When all parallel diodes in the same current direction of the power semiconductor switching element are integrated in the same set, as proposed in the second drawing, it is guaranteed that their characteristics coincide as closely as possible, hence minimizing the risk of temperature firing.
    [0028] In a special configuration of the type described above of power semiconductor switching element, the diodes are switched diodes per line. Usually, the so-called fast recovery diodes are used as antiparallel diodes for IGBT, since these diodes are especially suitable for fast switching applications, for which IGBTs are usually intended. However, for DC circuit breakers and DC current limiters, fast switching actions are not required, so line-switched diodes, as known from standard 50 Hz rectifier applications, can be used, instead . As line-switched diodes have a lower voltage drop than fast recovery diodes, the losses of the first and second modules described above can be reduced. In addition, line-switched diodes are less expensive.
    [0029] In an alternative unidirectional type of power semiconductor switching element, the switching element comprises a first module with a first reverse-conducting IGBT or a first parallel connection of several reverse-conducting IGBTs. In a reverse-conducting IGBT, the IGBT and anti-parallel diode function is directly integrated into a common chip. Reverse-conducting IGBTs are described, for example, in European Patent Application 059000.1 - Bi-Mode Isolated Gate Transistor (BIGT). As mentioned above, parallel connection (or several BIGT) provides
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 15/39
    13/27 a higher rated current for the semiconductor switching element.
    [0030] A semiconductor switching element with bidirectional power can be achieved by connecting two or more BIGT modules in antiserial connection. Therefore, it is suggested that the power semiconductor switching element above further comprises a second module in antiserial connection with the first module, the second module containing a second reverse-conducting IGBT or a second parallel connection of several reverse-conducting IGBTs.
    [0031] The use of BIGT, instead of an IGBT and separate antiparallel diodes, provides several advantages.
    [0032] An advantage refers to the fact that the direct voltage drop of the integrated diode has a positive temperature coefficient, so that the problem of a possible temperature trip is avoided.
    [0033] In the case of a special configuration of a bidirectional DC circuit breaker based on BIGT, the semiconductor switching element of power comprises, each, anti-serial connection of two BIGTs, where the two BIGTs are vertically integrated, in one and the same set . In a typical bidirectional DC circuit breaker application, current flows in one and the same direction for a considerably long period of time, which in the case of an IGBT with separate diodes means that the silicon area of the semiconductor switching elements of the circuit breaker Bidirectional DC is used only in part. In contrast to this, due to vertical integration, the silicon area of the bidirectional BIGT array can be fully utilized, resulting in either a minimum number of chips for the rated current or increased current capacity for a given number of chips per set.
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 16/39
    14/27 [0034] A third advantage refers to the fact that the functionality of the diode can be more easily monitored in the case of a BIGT than in the case of separate IGBT and diode.
    [0035] In general, it is advantageous to provide the switching module with an additional diode monitoring means, which is arranged to perform a diode blocking functionality test or antiparallel diodes, to indicate, in this way, whether the corresponding IGBT in the power semiconductor switching element is available or not for normal operation. This is recommended since, on rare occasions, it may happen that the antiparallel diode or diodes break with the corresponding IGBT in the disconnected or non-conductive state, which can cause serious consequences. In fast switching applications, it is possible to test the diode blocking functionality frequently, when the corresponding IGBTs are in the non-conductive state, and no current passes through the diode. However, in a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter, to which at least part of the IGBT is connected continuously, this is not possible for the corresponding diodes. However, it is important to obtain information on defective diodes before opening a DC circuit breaker or putting into operation a DC current limiter, since such defective diodes can cause fatal damage.
    [0036] Therefore, for switching modules containing IGBT and separate diodes, it is suggested to provide a monitoring means adapted to monitor the diode or diode blocking functionality whenever the corresponding IGBT is switched off, and no main current passes through the diode or diodes to be monitored. In other words, a test is performed as often as possible, and for some DC breaker configurations this means that a test can be performed only during maintenance, while in other configurations, such as for the DC circuit breaker,
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 17/39
    15/27 written in PCT / EP 20009/065233, the test can be carried out continuously for those switching modules that do not receive the primary current. The test includes simply applying a minimum possible test voltage to the direct direction of the disconnected IGBT, and checking whether this voltage is maintained, or whether this voltage decreases, and possibly ceases due to the diode failure. If interrupted, fault information can be generated, for example, by the door unit, and an optical information signal can be sent to a door unit. In connection with the RCD suppressor described above, an additional way of testing the functionality of antiparallel diodes is possible: in a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter containing several switching modules in a series connection, this additional test is carried out with a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter connected, and current flows in the direct direction through the IGBT connected in series. To test the functionality of the diodes, one of several IGBTs connected in series, can now be actively switched off for a very short period of time, preferably a couple of microseconds, until the current flowing through the disconnected IGBT starts to switch to the corresponding circuit RCD suppressor, until the voltage on the RCD suppressor starts to rise slightly. As soon as the rise is detected, that or several IGBTs are switched on again, and the voltage rise can be detected simply, checking if a predefined voltage limit has been exceeded, where the voltage limit is at a relatively high voltage level. low preferably a couple of hundred Volts or just a few kV. If no voltage rise is detected, fault information will be generated. In this way, the test of diodes on the switching modules becomes possible, without interfering with the operation of the DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter.
    [0037] As was apparent from the above, it is generally difficult to generate reliable information regarding the ability to
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 18/39
    16/27 blocking diodes in a switching module configuration with IGBT and separate diodes. In contrast, it is possible to detect a failure of the diode function integrated in BIGT, during both states, off and on of the corresponding IGBT. The possible detection of defective diode function in a BIGT during virtually all operating states of the BIGT in DC circuit breaker applications is due to the fact that the defective integrated diode function can be observed by a clear deterioration or even interruption of the door voltage issuer of the corresponding IGBT. Therefore, an increased leakage current from the emitting port can be used to indicate or monitor irreversible damage from either a BIGT diode or IGBT function. Therefore, the suggested diode monitoring medium for a switching module with BIGT is adapted to monitor the blocking functionality of the diode function or diode functions of the IGBT reverse conducting, generating fault information when interrupting the voltage of the emitting port through the reverse driving IGBT in the on or off state. Due to the possibility of performing the BIGT test in both states - on and off - there is much more chance of obtaining information regarding the blocking capacity of the diode function in the BIGT compared to the separate IGBT and diode solution, hence increasing considerably reliability of the DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter.
    [0038] In addition to the dynamic voltage distribution, discussed above in connection with RCD suppressor, it is also advantageous if the steady-state voltage distribution of switching modules connected in series is kept as equal as possible to avoid a voltage voltage in some modules. According to a further configuration of the invention, it is suggested that a non-linear voltage limiting resistor be connected in parallel with at least one semiconductor power switching element. This limit resistor
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 19/39
    17/27 non-linear voltage transformer not only guarantees an equal stable state voltage distribution, but, in addition, limits overvoltage when the suppressor of a group of switching modules connected in series captures the current in the damping circuits of that group. The suppressor of a group of switching modules connected in series, as follows, can also be called the main suppressor. Additional advantages of the non-linear voltage limiting resistor in a switching module allow a reduction in the size of the suppressor capacitor of that module, allowing greater capacitor tolerances between the different modules, which simplifies the mechanical design of the current switching path for the retainer main.

The power semiconductor switching elements are in an IGBT 1 of a first current direction 4, and a return diode 2 connected in antiparallel to IGBT 1. [0054] In figure 2, a second base element 6b can be seen, which it comprises a parallel connection of IGBT 1 in the first current direction 4 and an IGBT 3 of a second opposite current direction 5. Therefore, the second base element 6b is suitable for bidirectional applications.

The circuit breaker DC 14 comprises a main circuit breaker 10, containing a series connection of several tens, up to several hundred base elements 6, depending on the voltage level, as well as a non-linear resistor, which is also called main retainer 11, and connected in parallel with main circuit breaker 10. Arranged in series with circuit breaker DC 14, reactor 12 is arranged to limit the current rate on line 13. Under normal conditions of line 13 operation, all IGBT or BIGT on base elements 6 are connected , that is, circuit breaker DC 14 carries the primary current of line 13. In the event that the primary current must be interrupted, for example, if there is a fault in line 13, all IGBT or BIGT must be switched off simultaneously, for the primary current switch to main retainer 11, then reducing the current to zero.
    [0058] Another example of suppressor CC 17, in which the base elements 6a-6d can be used, is shown in figure 6. In addition, to the main circuit breaker 10 the main retainer 11, a connection is provided

    20/27 series of a high speed switch 15, and auxiliary circuit breaker 16 connected in parallel with the main circuit breaker 10 and main retainer 11.0 auxiliary circuit breaker 16 contains only a base element 6. The high speed switch 15 is a mechanical switch. In series with the circuit breaker DC 17 a ballast 12 is placed to limit the current rate.
    [0059] It should be noted that if base element 6 is used in DC circuit breaker configurations, this configuration is also suitable for use with AC circuit breakers in AC power distribution or transmission lines.
    [0060] In figure 7, an example of current limiter 18 is shown, where current limiter 18 comprises a series connection of multiple DC circuit breakers 14. In other words, the current limiter DC 18 contains multiple groups of connected base elements in series 6, where each group comprises a main retainer 11 in parallel with the base elements 6. The current limit 18 is connected in series with a current rate limiting reactor 12 and power distribution or transmission line 13. In the case of where the primary current on line 13 must be limited or reduced, an appropriate number of DC 15 circuit breakers is opened, so that the corresponding non-linear resistors can dissipate the amount of unwanted energy. In the smallest form, a current limiter contains two circuit breakers 14 - first and second circuit breakers. The protective level of the main retainer of the first circuit breaker corresponds to the nominal DC voltage level of line 13. The protective level of the main retainer of the second circuit breaker can be adjusted below the nominal DC voltage of line 13, for example, 50%. After the first circuit breaker has been opened, the second circuit breaker can be used to interrupt the current in line 13, opening the second circuit breaker in the same way.
    [0061] The invention will now be explained with respect to figures 8

    21/27 to 12. To operate the base elements 6 in the DC circuit breaker or DC current limiter, so-called door units are required, which cause IGBT and BIGT to be turned on or off, according to the control signal, generated by a control unit, depending on the status of line 13. As a result, the base elements 6 of circuit breakers DC 14 or 17 or current limiter DC 13 effectively contain more than just power semiconductor switching elements. In fact, each base element 6 can be replaced by a switching module 38, the switching module comprising, among others, a door unit 31. Different configurations of switching module 38 comprise, among others, a door unit 31. Different configurations of the switching module 38 will now be described, and for each configuration, power semiconductor switching elements actually shown can be replaced by power semiconductor switching elements belonging to another suitable element among the base elements 6a-6d , and also by combinations of them, as will be explained later.
    [0062] A first configuration 38a of the switching module is shown in figure 8, and comprises in addition to IGBT 1 and antiparallel diode 2, a first configuration 30a of a door drive module, connected to the IGBT 1 port. The door drive 30a comprises a photodiode 20 energy transformation means, DC / DC converter 22, energy storage capacitor 25, and door unit 31. The photodiode 20 is arranged to receive an optical energy signal to transform the optical energy signal into an electrical energy signal and provide an electrical energy signal via a DC / DC converter 22 to the energy storage capacitor 25, then charging / recharging the energy storage capacitor 25 from a power source inde

    22/27 pending circuit switching status or condition, also called primary circuit, of which IGBT 1 or diode 2 is part. The electric power signal is a low power signal less than 1 Watt.
    [0063] The energy storage capacitor 25 is connected to a power supply input 29 of the port unit 31 to supply a supervision module and port driver 28 of the power required to drive the IGBT 1 port. The door contains, in addition to the supervision module and door actuator 28, a door control unit module 27. The door unit control module 27 receives an electrical control signal from the control signal detector 23, the control signal detector 23 is arranged to separate the control signal from the energy signal emitted by photodiode 20. Therefore, the optical energy signal received by photodiode 20 also contains an optical information signal, which even after being transformed into a signal electric is still present. Photodiode 20 is connected via a first fiber optic cable 51a to a central control unit 50 (see figure 12).
    [0064] The door unit control module 27 processes the electrical control signal and outputs an on-off signal to the door drive supervision and module 28, which turns on or off IGBT 1. The door unit control module 27 additionally receives different information, such as information provided by the supervision module and door trigger 28, regarding the status of IGBT 1 and information provided by an energy supervision unit 26, regarding the status of the elements involved in the power supply of the supervision module and door trigger 28, that is, information regarding the status of the energy storage capacitor 25 and DC / DC converter 22. The different information is processed by the door unit control module 27 and provided
    Petition 870190045114, of 05/14/2019, p. 25/39
    23/27 as status information via a signal transmitting module 24 to a signal transformation medium, which in this example is a light emitting diode 21. Light emitting diode 21 is connected via a second fiber cable optics 52 to the central control unit 50 (see figure 12) which, in response to the received status information, adapts the control signal sent via optical energy signal to the photodiode 20.
    [0065] A second configuration 38b of the switching module is shown in figure 9, where the second configuration 38b contains the same door drive module 30a as the first configuration 38a. A detail of the supervision module and door actuator shown here, is not shown in figure 8. In figure 9 can be seen the supervision module and door actuator 28, with which the door unit 31 is connected via bridge H to the door at least one semiconductor power switching element, here an IGBT 1, with a semiparallel diode 2, where the H bridge is supplied with a unipolar DC voltage of 15 Volts, and emits a bipolar DC voltage of ± 15 Volts. Therefore, the internal power demand of the door unit 13 is reduced to a certain extent.
    [0066] In addition to the first configuration 38a, the second configuration 38b of the switching module contains a non-linear voltage limiting resistor 32 in parallel with at least one of the power semiconductor switching elements, as well as an RCD suppressor circuit, which is a series connection of diode 33 and capacitor 34, as well as a resistor 35 in parallel with at least one power semiconductor switching element. The orientation of diode 33 is the same as that of IGBT 1. The RCD suppressor circuit is mainly responsible for an equal dynamic voltage distribution in the serial connection of several switching modules 38, as, for example, it would be applicable to DC circuit breakers 14 and 17 or current limiter DC 18, when the base elements 6 are replaced with modu

    24/27 switching loops 38. The non-linear voltage limiting resistor 32 mainly guarantees a stable voltage distribution equal in such a series connection of switching modules 38.
    [0067] In the third configuration 38c of the switching module, according to figure 10, in addition to an IGBT 1 of a diode 2 of the first and second configurations 38a and 38b, respectively, which together form a first module that receives the letter a, and a second module that receives the letter b, containing a second IGBT 1, and the second antiparallel diode 2 is connected antiserial to the first module. Therefore, switching module 38c can be applied to a bidirectional DC circuit breaker or bidirectional DC current limiter. [0068] As described above, additional and alternative combinations of IGBT and diodes are possible. An example is shown in figure 13, where both first and second modules comprise not just one, but two IGBTs connected in parallel 1a and 1b, and corresponding antiparallel diodes 2a and 2b, respectively. The physical arrangement of the two modules can be either in the form of a first set for each IGBT pair and corresponding diode, or a first set with all IGBT 1a from the first current direction and a second set with all diodes 2a, 2b respectively, also according to your current direction. This last type of arrangement provides a considerable reduction in the risk of temperature firing, as described above, represented in figure 13 by dashed lines.
    [0069] The third configuration 38c of the switching module comprises in addition to the first and second IGBT modules and diodes, a second configuration 30b of the door drive module, where the second configuration 30b comprises two additional units not contained in the first configuration 30a. One of these additional units is a means of monitoring diode 37, whose task is to monitor the blocking functionality of diodes 2 in the first module. O

    25/27 monitoring is done by applying a test voltage in the direct direction to IGBT 1a or 1b, respectively, whenever on or off, and when a main current is not passing through the corresponding diodes. By checking whether the test voltage is maintained or not, it can be checked whether diode 2a or 2b has failed, respectively. Through this example of circuit breaker DC 17, diode monitoring can be done for the diodes on main circuit breaker 10 in normal operation, as long as the main or primary current flows, during this period, through auxiliary circuit breaker 16 and high speed switch 15 .
    [0070] The other additional unit of the second configuration 30b of the door drive unit is an auxiliary recharge circuit 36, which, in addition to the optical energy source, supplies energy to the energy storage capacitor 25, whenever possible, and it gets its energy from the primary circuit, to which IGBT 1 and diodes 2 are connected. However, as described, recharging occasions from the primary circuit are very rare, that is, occasions when IGBTs are switched off, in a DC circuit breaker or DC current limiting application. Both monitoring and recharging are initiated by a corresponding start signal, sent and supervision module and gate driver 28 to the monitoring medium of diode 37 and auxiliary recharging circuit 36, respectively. These start signals can be generated either internally in the switch module, by the door unit control module 27, or by the auxiliary recharge circuit 36 itself, in case the auxiliary recharge circuit 36 is sufficiently intelligent to adapt to the conditions in the primary circuit, or the start signals can be sent in the form of corresponding control signals via the first fiber optic cable 51 from the control signal unit 50 (see figure 12) to the switching module, and then transmitted, via control signal detector 23, from

    26/27 port unit control module 27 and supervision module and port driver 28 for diode monitoring means 37 and auxiliary charging circuit 36, respectively.
    [0071] A fourth configuration of the switching module is shown in Figure 11, where at least one power semiconductor switching element is an anti-serial connection of two IGBT reverse conductors, according to the fourth base element 6d, or in other words , a serial connection of a BIGT 8 from a first current direction. As a result, the switching module is suitable for bidirectional applications. In parallel with non-linear BIGT 8 and 9, again, a non-linear voltage limiting resistor 32 is arranged, and, in parallel with resistor 32, a bidirectional RCD suppressor circuit is connected. The bidirectional RCD suppressor circuit contains a first parallel connection of a first diode 42 and a first resistor 40, where the first diode 42 is in the first current direction, a second parallel connection of a second diode 45 and a second resistor 41, where the second diode 45 is of the second current direction, a common capacitor 46 is connected in series and between the first and second parallel connections, a third diode 44 connected between and having the cathode direction of the second diode 45 to the cathode of the first diode 42 , and a fourth diode connected between and having the anode direction of the second diode 45 to the anode of the first diode 42. The door drive module of the fourth configuration 38d of the switching module is of a third configuration 30c, and basically contains the same elements as the second configuration 30b, but the function of the diode monitoring means differs from the diode monitoring means 37 in figure 10 in that the function blocking functionality of the integrated BIGT 8 and 9 diode functions to be monitored together with the monitoring of the BIGT 8 and 9 IGBT functionality, respectively. Monitoring is carried out

If the voltage of the IGBT emitter port of reverse conduction (on or off), deteriorates or interrupts, which is detected by detecting an increase in leakage current from the emitter port, a fault information will be generated.
    [0072] The arrangement of a central control unit 50 and several switching modules of a DC circuit breaker, where the switching modules consist of a door drive unit 30, IGBT 1 and anti-parallel diode 2, as mentioned above. The DC circuit breaker additionally comprises a main retainer 11. The switching modules of the DC circuit breaker can effectively be any of four types 38a to 38d, as described above, or have any other combination among possible configurations of main elements of a switching module , where the main elements are at least one semiconductor power switching element, door drive unit, optional RCD suppressor circuit, and non-linear voltage limiter resistor. As can be seen in figure 12, two fiber optic cables 51 and 52 are arranged between the central control unit 50 and each door drive unit 30, where the first fiber optic cable 50 is used to transmit a signal. optical power, from the central control unit 50 to the respective door drive unit 30, and where the optical power signal, in addition, contains one or more control signals, and the second fiber optic cable 52 is used to transmit status information in the form of an optical information signal, from the door drive unit 30 to the central control unit 50.
