Abstract

The circuit breaker control module of the present disclosure comprises: a plurality of semiconductor switching units for blocking current flows of transmission distribution lines or performing switching operations so as to switch the current flow directions; a control unit for controlling the turn-on/turn-off operation of each semiconductor switching unit by transmitting a trip signal to each of the plurality of semiconductor switching units; and a plurality of insulation type signal transmission element units which are provided between the plurality of semiconductor switching units and the control unit such that the semiconductor switching units and the control unit are insulated, and which transmit the trip signal from the control unit to each of the plurality of semiconductor switching units, and thus the presently disclosed circuit breaker control module can reduce the risk of accidents due to an electrical arc and increase the stability and reliability of the control unit.
