Abstract: A solid-state circuit breaker may include power modules, gate drives, a current sensor, and a controller. Each power module may include two back-to-back MOSFETs with body diodes. The MOSFETs may have opposite orientations and a common source connection within the power module. The current sensor may detect current, and the controller may determine whether the current exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the current exceeds the predetermined threshold, the controller may transmit a signal to each gate drive to cause each gate drive to output a signal to the back-to-back MOSFETs such that the electrical current through the solid-state circuit breaker is blocked in both directions.

Abstract: A direct current circuit breaker includes main circuit for carrying a main-path current, and a transient circuit for carrying a transient-path current. The main circuit includes a first solid state switch and a main contactor. The first solid state switch is coupled in series with the main contactor. The transient circuit is coupled in parallel with the main circuit. The transient circuit includes an auxiliary contactor coupled in series with a second solid state switch. The second solid state switch closes when the main-path current exceeds a first threshold. The first solid state switch then opens. The main contactor opens when the main-path current falls below a second threshold. Then the second solid state switch opens. The auxiliary contactor opens when the transient-path current falls below the second threshold and after the second solid state switch opens.
