An economical and reliable DC circuit breaker for DC voltage > 3.5kV is not commercially available today. The lack of such a breaker has been inhibiting the development of DC power distribution in factories (especially processing plants with many variable speed motors); for microgrids (including on ships, oil platforms, and wind farms), and for multiterminal HVDC power transmission, as in the supergrid.

BB_Co getting traction with VCs
I have had invitations from three venture capital firms who have asked me to make a pitch on Ballistic Breakers. This is a completely different experience than I had with trying to sell elpipes to the VCs. In the case of elpipes, all the VCs were unanimous, saying that these high capacity underground HVDC powerlines are "too big & too long term."
