Abstract (en)

A direct-current interrupter of an embodiment includes: a current-carrying path; a commutation circuit; a semiconductor circuit breaker; and a non-linear resistor. The current-carrying path passes a direct current and includes first and second switches. The second switch is connected in series to the first switch and has a withstand voltage lower than a withstand voltage of the first switch. The semiconductor circuit breaker and the non-linear resistor are connected in parallel to the current-carrying path.
