A circuit breaker device includes plural bridges conductively coupled parallel to each other between plural terminals that are configured to be conductively coupled with a power source and a load. The bridges include first and second outer bridges each having plural switches and at least an impedance bridge. The switches of the first and second outer bridges are configured to be closed to conduct electric current between the power source and the load and at least one switch in each of the first and second outer bridges are configured to be opened while at least one other switch in each of the first and second outer bridges are configured to remain closed to prevent conduction of the electric current between the power source and the load and to direct the electric current into the impedance bridge.
