Abstract

This article describes the development of current sensors used in DCU-type high-speed circuit breakers. DCU-type circuit breakers use the principle of turning off a constant short-circuit current by means of countercurrent. The article presents a new current sensor design called PIKh, which uses Hall sensors to measure current and determine its direction. PIKh sensors allow parallel operation of high-speed circuit breakers during the “parking” operation. The article includes the algorithm and principle of operation of the PIKh sensor. The proposed solution was verified on an electric traction vehicle.
