    摘要: An embodiment of a DC circuit breaker system includes a first mechanical switch, a first parallel capacitor connecting a first terminal and a second terminal of the first mechanical switch, a second mechanical switch in series with the first mechanical switch, a second parallel capacitor connecting a first terminal and a second terminal of the second mechanical switch, a first diode connecting the first terminal and the second terminal; and a second diode connecting the first terminal and the second terminal. According to the present disclosure, the first mechanical switch initiates a separation of contacts in response to a fault current; the second mechanical switch initiates a separation of contacts in response to the fault current; and opening of the first and second mechanical switches and turning off of the first and second diodes reverse a direction of a current flow and clear a current fault.
