Solid State Circuit Breaker Residential

The new abb breaker will also improve safety and protection for people and equipment.

Solid state circuit breaker residential.

The abb solid state circuit breaker concept will make electrical distribution systems more reliable and efficient and will drive down maintenance costs while meeting. The solid state circuit breaker uses advanced algorithms software and power electronics instead of the electromechanical parts of a conventional circuit breaker. This promises several advantages such as cutting the circuit in fractions of microseconds better monitoring of circuit loads and longer lifetimes. The solid state circuit breaker will be around 100 times faster than traditional electro mechanical breakers.

Ryan kennedy the ceo of atom power believes his solid state circuit breaker is primed to disrupt not just the world of circuit breakers but also deliver realtime energy monitoring control. A solid state device can move at the speed of a computer improving the device s kilo amperes interrupting capacity or kaic a key measure of a circuit breaker s ability to perform its. Electronic control and digital processes effectively mitigate current fluctuations 100 times faster than was ever possible using older breakers. The product will be available from 2020.
