What is a comparative study of DC circuit breakers?

Comparative study of DC circuit breakers namely mechanical CB, SSCB and hybrid CB. An extensive study of technological development analysis is needed to examine the topology and operation of CB devices. SSPC, fault isolation, short-circuit current. High current development of 270 V DC SSPC.

Why do electromechanical breaker circuits need arc extinguishing?

Furthermore, the electromechanical CBs also cause arc during an interruption which leads to eroding the breaker contact and increases the maintenance costs . Similarly, this type of CB required an additional arc extinguishing mechanism to drive the fault current to zero due to the absence of natural zero current crossing .
