Direct Current (DC) Circuit Breaker Market Definition
The direct current (DC) circuit breaker is an electrical switch that protects a circuit from any damage caused by an excessive supply of electricity in a direct current circuit. A DC circuit breaker aims to identify a defect and interrupt the current flow. Circuit breakers that operate on direct current (DC) are fitted in fuse boxes with a rail specifically intended for them. They can be used to safeguard individual direct-current loads and main circuits such as inverters, solar PV arrays, and battery banks.
