At present, influenced by the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals and the promotion of the "electrification" process, the use of DC power grids is becoming increasingly common, such as data centers, energy storage media such as batteries, production lines, and even the entire factory operating based on DC power grids.

Short circuit handling has always been one of the factors hindering the wider use of DC power and distribution in data centers, as using fuses makes it difficult to obtain the required system functionality. Therefore, in the past, data center enterprises have not experienced the advantages of using DC distribution systems.

And VACON ®  The function of NXP DCGuard is different from that of a fuse. Once the fault condition is eliminated, it can be easily reset and restarted. This will eliminate the obstacle that end users are unwilling to switch to a more efficient DC system due to concerns about short-circuit fault currents. It also helps to achieve the transition of efficient energy management for multiple power sources by reducing losses related to AC/DC power grid conversion.

Through VACON ®  The connection of NXP DCGuard can easily achieve the advantage of DC distribution network compared to AC distribution network - ring network networking. Through the ring network, multiple distribution networks can be simultaneously powered online, achieving better stability and redundancy, and also more conducive to direct grid connection of various distributed new energy sources.

Currently, VACON ®  NXP DCGuard has been used as a protection and ring network connection device for DC networks in multiple DC smart microgrid projects (low-carbon/zero carbon buildings/factories) in China.
