Oak Ridge's thyristor breaker aims to make DC grids affordable
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a circuit breaker that could finally make medium-voltage DC power distribution economically viable for data centers and manufacturing facilities, the lab announced in a press release. By using 1950s-era thyristors instead of modern semiconductors, the team achieved sub-50-microsecond interruption times at a fraction of the cost. The… The post Oak Ridge’s thyristor breaker aims to mak…
