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.

Utility US Patent Application Filed on Ballistic Breakers™
I filed my US patent application on Ballistic Circuit Breakers™ yesterday. Here is an excerpt which does not reveal any of the newest concepts that I introduced in my patent application. The concepts in this excerpt were covered in prior provisional patent applications, and subsequently discussed in my CleanTech Open semifinal pitch deck (October 3, 2011), and also in my presentation to the Seventh Conference on Clean Energy on November 1, 2011.
