Abstract In conventional medium-voltage solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs), series-connected semiconductor switches are used with metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in parallel with each of them to extend the voltage ratings of the breakers without incurring the dynamic voltage unbalance. Besides, for isolating the faults at faster speeds, the clamped surge voltages of the MOVs are always much higher than the system voltages. For those reasons, the voltage ratings of all the switches in the SSCBs have to be overdesigned according to the surge voltage values, which causes high material costs along with nonideal conduction losses in the SSCBs employed for medium-voltage dc distribution systems. To solve this dilemma, a surgeless diode-clamped multilevel SSCB is proposed in this article. It offers an ultrafast isolation speed with no significant surge voltages or dynamic unbalanced voltage across the semiconductor switches. With these attributes, the proposed SSCB can potentially use the semiconductor switches rated at lower voltages compared to conventional SSCBs and have higher efficiency along with faster isolation speed. The simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the technical feasibility and practical values of the proposed SSCB.
