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.

Patent Submitted (US utility patent) on Ballistic Breakers
I submitted a patent application on Ballistic Breakers™ November 30, 2011, which is now abandoned. I submitted a much-refined patent application yesterday. The linked document is an excerpt from my (52 page, not including the 20 figures) patent application; the full application is proprietary for now, only available under NDA and/or to be shared with serious candidate investors. I am very pleased with the results, however. I plan to submit a paper soon that will reveal more information about what is in the patent (but not everything!).
