Circuit of the Future - fault current limiter
Circuit of the Future - fault current limiter
(OP)
I read a news item last week where Southern California Edison announced their futuristic concept for distribution circuits. As news items go, this was sketchy on details.
What I've been able to gather is that this project had a lot of hands in it - Dept of Energy, EPRI, KEMA, etc.
One detail relates to the use of a fault current limiter. It is not clear where they would use them. Presumably it would be at the source end of the circuit.
Some details I found in the link

If anyone has more details to share on this topic, I'd be interested hearing about them.

I'm on the waiting list for the first production run...

I didn't pick it up from the text so I'm guessing, but presumably the new version is resettable, which would be an advance over the ABB offering.
