 Abstract   Recent advancement in power semiconductors has been remarkable and the use of power semiconductor devices in applications for distribution of electrical energy has become an important field of research. The paper describes investigations on modern power-semiconductors for use in fast-acting circuit breakers. Aim of the investigations is a comparison of different types of solid-state switching devices as well as the proof of their eligibility for use in medium-voltage distribution systems. Laboratory tests were made to show the switching behaviour at high currents. Simulations were done to compare the experimental results with the simulation models and to predict the operation behaviour in networks.
