“ORNL researchers designed solutions and tested them in a series of breakers operating up to an 1,800-volt testing capacity,” ...

When you link an outlet to a breaker, mark it on both the label that you’ll paste next to the breaker and on your floor plan. This will make it easy to reset or turn off breakers when you need to.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed medium-voltage solid state ...

A new semiconductor-based DC breaker can cut faults in under 50 microseconds, offering faster, cheaper protection for the ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are breaking technical barriers with faster circuit ...

The circuit breaker idea gives tax breaks or credits to both homeowners and renters based on the percentage of their income they pay in property taxes.

This paper proposes a dc circuit breaker for voltage source converter (VSC) based high-voltage dc transmission (HVDC) systems. Technical challenges for applying dc circuit breakers are to increase ...

The fault current limiting in high-voltage dc (HVdc) grids is critical to reducing the breaking stress of dc circuit breaker and improving the breaking reliability. However, the existing HVdc circuit ...

The new SACE Emax 3 air circuit breaker will improve energy security and resilience of power systems in critical infrastructure – including data centers, factories, hospitals, and airports ...
