Static Transfer Switch (STS), Static Current Limiter (SCL), Static Circuit Breaker Fast switching for fault isolation and rapid load transfer. Custom power devices are broadly categorized into two

It injects a synchronized voltage into the distribution feeder to maintain a constant load voltage during source disturbances. Static Current Limiter (SCL)

The UPQC is considered the most powerful CPD as it combines both converters via a common DC link.

Available with or without energy storage; storage-based models use batteries or capacitors to provide the necessary active power for compensation. 2. Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM)
