Onboard DC marine distribution is becoming increasingly popular but there are new challenges to face during faults, like power electronic converter protection, capacitor discharge current detection and interruption, selectivity among interruptive devices and faulty zone isolation, to guarantee a better continuity of service. Let’s see how to overcome those challenges thanks to the new Solid State Circuit Breaker technology.
