Hybrid dc circuit breakers (HCBs) usually require a large number of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) with high turn-

capability for series and parallel connections. This requirement entails excessive cost. Compared with IGBTs, integrated gate-commutated thyristors (IGCTs) are another kind of fully controlled power device with high surge current and voltage capability but are low cost. However, the weak turn-

capability of IGCTs hinders their application to high-powered HCBs. On the basis of the complementary advantages of IGBTs and IGCTs, this paper proposes a mixture solid-state switch (MSS) for HCBs that uses the switching action of several IGBTs to create a low-current condition that favors the turning

of large-scale series-connected IGCTs. The MSS topology can significantly reduce cost while maintaining the excellent performance of traditional solid-state switches. This study also introduces two different turn-

modes for MSS, namely, single oscillation and multiple oscillations. Finally, 25 kV/20 kA prototypes in both modes are developed to verify the effectiveness of the MSS topology. |
