Is ABB a solid-state circuit breaker?

...ABB has invented a revolutionary solid-state circuit breaker concept that meets the highest demands of renewable energy solutions and industrial energy storage systems?

What is a solid-state breaker?

The solid-state breaker concept replaces the traditional moving parts of an electromechanical circuit breaker with semiconductors and advanced software algorithms that control the power and can interrupt extreme currents faster than ever before.

What is the difference between a mechanical and solid-state circuit breaker?

Solid-state technology guarantees an extremely fast interruption and clears a fault in a few microseconds. In comparison, a mechanical circuit breaker with the same frame size takes a few milliseconds. ABB’s solid-state circuit breaker can detect and respond to a short circuit fault 100 times faster than a mechanical circuit breaker.

Are electro-mechanical circuit breakers replaced by intelligent solid-state devices?

In multiple applications, conventional Electro-mechanical circuit breakers are now replaced by intelligent solid-state devices with increased performance in term of control and protection capabilities.
