  • DC voltage circuit breaker
    Patent number: 9478974
    Abstract: A DC voltage circuit breaker includes a first to fourth nodes, a first interrupter disposed between the first node and the fourth node, a second interrupter disposed between the fourth node and the third node, a pulse generator circuit disposed between the fourth node and the second node, the pulse generator circuit having a capacitor connected in parallel with a series circuit of an inductor and a switch, and a first energy absorber disposed between the third node and the second node.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2016
    Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

  • DC voltage line circuit breaker
    Patent number: 9178348
    Abstract: A direct current circuit breaker has a first to fifth node. A first breaker is arranged between the first node and the fourth node, and a second breaker is arranged between the fourth node and the third node. A parallel circuit of a commutator device is arranged parallel to an energy absorber between the fourth node and the fifth node, and a switch is arranged in series to the parallel circuit. A series circuit containing a semiconductor switch and a resistor is arranged between the second node and the third node.
