2. Dynamics of an ultra-fast Thomson actuated HVDC breaker
University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)Abstract : High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is a rapidly growing form of power transmission that offers advantages with respect to conventional AC networks. One of the key elements that will allow the generalization of the HVDC grids is the Circuit Breaker (CB), which has to interrupt high DC currents in extremely short times. READ MORE

3. Simulation, design and experimental validation of a passive magnetic damper for ultra-fast actuators
University essay from KTH/Elektroteknisk teori och konstruktionAbstract : A contact system driven by a high energetic Thomson actuator requires to be decelerated from full speed down to zero. The forces originated from the interaction between a stationary copper tube and a moving array of magnets combined with plastic or ferromagnetic material are used to generate eddy-current damping.

4. Modeling and Optimizing Ultra-fast Thomson-type Actuators for Electrical Switches
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : In order to obtain an ultra-fast actuator functionality in mechanical switching mechanisms, Thomson-type coils (TC) can be a suitable choice to be employed, with the ability to exert massive forces in short time. In this Master thesis, a practical Thomson coil was designed and simulated with finite element methods to present features and the performance of TC-type actuators, primarily from the mechanical aspects.
