|
The objective of this thesis is to determine a method for computing the amount of capacitance in a power electronic converter required to melt a fuse in the event of a line to ground fault . DC micro -grids rely on power electronic converters to change voltage levels . All converters rely on semiconductor switches that must be protected from surges of fault current . This limits the power that a converter can supply to a fuse . In many cases , sufficient power may be achieved by appropriately sizing the converters’ output capacitor . |
