Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4068326A1] This direct-current circuit breaker has a mechanical circuit breaker, a surge arrester, and a commutation circuit. The mechanical circuit breaker is connected to a first direct-current transmission line at a first end thereof and to a second direct-current transmission line at a second end thereof. The commutation circuit has a first switch, a second switch, a reactor, a capacitor, and a resistor. The commutation circuit, the surge arrester, and the mechanical circuit breaker are parallelly connected between the first direct-current transmission line and the second direct-current transmission line. The first switch, the capacitor, and the reactor are serially connected between the first direct-current transmission line and the second direct-current transmission line. The second switch and the resistor are serially connected and disposed in parallel with the first switch.
