Research is proposed on a novel solid state electric circuit breaker.           The device can be used as a large-scale (400 kV, 1 kA) industrial or            utility circuit interrupter.  The proposed device has the potential to          significantly extend the performance of existing circuit breakers by            simultaneously increasing the rate of change of current, di/dt, and             the resulting rate change in system voltage, dV/dt.  The proposed               research involves analytical calculations and experimental tests of a           scaled-down circuit breaker device.  The investigator will                      independently test the di/dt and dV/dt performance of a small scale             device.                                                                                                                                                         Fast acting, high power AC circuit breakers have application in                 general electric-power applications and would provide an improved               performance level that has not been attained to this point.
