Interrupting DC fault currents is exceptionally challenging due to the lack of zero crossing. In this article, Nina Sasaki Støa-Aanensen and Matteo Maglio explore the EU-funded MISSION project’s quest to develop a cost-effective, SF6-free 12 kV MVDC circuit breaker. Discover how their mechanical ultrafast disconnector design bypasses power-electronic elements to lower costs, overcoming critical technical hurdles to enable the multiterminal DC grids of tomorrow.
