Abstract
A predefined peak current value for a system that includes a transfer switch system, a first power source, a downstream transformer, and a downstream circuit breaker is obtained. A sensed current value for some components of the system are obtained by sensors of the system. A corresponding semiconductor switch assembly of the first power source is instructed to turn off in response to determining a fault in the electrical distribution system using the sensed current value and the predefined peak current value. A reference current is obtained for the downstream circuit breaker. An updated sensed current value is obtained. The corresponding semiconductor switch assembly of the first power source is instructed to turn on based on an integrated value of the updated sensed current value matching an integrated value of the reference current, where turning on and off the switch is repeated until the downstream circuit breaker clears the fault.
