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.

MassCEC Grant Application Final Presentation
Today I made my final pitch in pursuit of a $40k "Catalyst Grant" from the Mass Clean Energy Center. I proposed in my application to use the money to fabricate a 1200 volt, 1200 amp Ballistic Breaker for an initial application with Comprehensive Power (Customer #1) of Marlborough, MA. Frank Grant, founder & President of Comprehensive power has agreed to test the breaker and to provide other assistance.
