A Brief Emerging Tecnologies Overview

Switchgear

TechnologiesSF6 gas as both an arc interrupting and a dielectric medium in circuit breakers, circuit breakers based on power electronics; power electronics Silicon-Carbon (SiC) devices (diodes, transistors, etc.) for higher voltages and higher switching efficiencies, Custom Power Systems/Devices (power electronics in distribution systems up to 38 kV and in DER such as solar, wind, and energy storage systems); mainstream: SCRs and GTOs for transmission voltage and load control.
