Taming the Arc: Technology Trends in the Direct Current Circuit Breaker Market

The physics of DC interruption is unforgiving. The direct current circuit breaker market has developed several arc-extinguishing techniques to meet the challenge. For low-voltage applications (up to about 600V DC), permanent magnets or magnetic blowout coils are used to deflect the arc into an arc chute, where it is split into many small arcs and extinguished. For medium-voltage DC (up to...
