Abstract
A solid-state circuit breaker for a DC system includes a switching module having a first terminal detachably connectable to a DC power source and a second terminal detachably connectable to a load. The switching module has a predetermined plurality of solid-state switches connected in parallel between the first and second terminals. An energy absorbing module has a first terminal detachably connectable to the DC power source and a second terminal detachably connectable to the load. The switching module includes a predetermined plurality of solid-state Transient Voltage Supressors (TVS) connected in parallel between the first and second terminals.
