Electrical continuity is maintained between cathode 106 and the hydrogen gas through secondary electron emission by ion impact. Energetic (e.g., 100-200 electron volts (eV)) ions from the plasma are drawn to the surface of cathode 106 by a strong electric field.

Controller 315 is configured to control breaker assembly 316 to interrupt the DC current upon detection of a fault condition. For example, if controller 315 determines that the current signal, and/or the current represented by the current signal, exceeds a current threshold, a fault condition is determined to exist and controller 315 operates breaker assembly 316 to interrupt the DC current.

- Memory device 326 may also be, or include, a detachable or removable memory, including, but not limited to, a suitable cartridge, disk, CD ROM, DVD or USB memory.
- Breaker assembly 316 includes a first conductive path 328 and a second conductive path 330 between input portion 318 and output portion 320.
- Second conductive path 330 extends in parallel with first conductive path 328.
- First conductive path 328 is configured to carry the DC current flowing through breaker assembly 316 under normal, i.e., non-fault, conditions.
- second conductive path 330 carries a relatively small portion of the DC current flowing through breaker assembly 316 under normal conditions.
- First conductive path 328 includes a switch 332 and a variable impedance device 334.
- Switch 332 is a mechanical switch. In other embodiments, switch 332 is one or more semiconductor switches, or any other suitable switch or switches capable of carrying the DC current with relatively low losses when closed. In other embodiments, switch 332 is a vacuum or gas tube switch, such as gas tube switch 100. In the exemplary embodiment, switch 332 is more efficient (i.e., less lossy) when closed and conducting than gas tube switch 100.
- Variable impedance device 334 may be any suitable device for providing variable impedance on first conductive path 328, such as a saturable reactor, a fault current limiter, a semiconductor device, etc.

- first conductive path 328 has a low impedance (e.g., an impedance of about zero ohms) and second conductive path 330 has a very high impedance (e.g., an impedance about equal to an open circuit).
- DC current entering input portion 318 will travel through the low impedance first conductive path 328 to output portion 320.
- no current travels through second conductive path 330.
- a relatively small amount of the DC current travels from input portion 318 to output portion 320 through second conductive path 330 under normal conditions.
- controller 315 Upon detecting a fault condition, receiving an instruction to trip, or otherwise determining to trip, controller 315 diverts a portion of the DC current flowing between input portion 318 and output portion 320 from first conductive path 328 to second conductive path 330. More specifically, controller 315 increases the impedance of variable impedance device 334 and, at substantially the same time, closes the normally open gas tube switch 100. The impedance of first conductive path 328 is thus increased while the impedance of second conductive path 330 is greatly decreased. A portion of the DC current flowing from input portion 318 to output portion 320 now flows through second conductive path 330.
- the portion of current diverted to second conductive path 330 is greater than or equal to an amount which will reduce the DC current in first conductive path 328 low enough to permit switch 332 to be opened without damage.
- substantially all of the DC current is diverted to second conductive path 330.
- less than substantially all of the DC current is diverted to second conductive path 330.
- the amount of the DC current diverted to second conductive path 330 depends on the amount of time elapsed and the relative impedances of first conductive path 328 and second conductive path 330.
- first conductive path 328 and second conductive path 330 each include one or more sensors (not shown) configured to detect the current in their respective first or second conductive paths 328 or 330 and provide the a signal representative of the detected current to controller 315.
- controller 315 After controller 315 opens switch 332, the DC current flowing through first conductive path 328 will cease and all DC current flowing from input portion 318 to output portion 320 flows through second conductive path 330. Controller 315 next opens gas tube switch 100, thereby completing the interruption of DC current flowing between input portion 318 and output portion 320.
- the determination by controller 315 of when to open gas tube switch 100 may be based on an elapsed time after opening switch 332, a measurement of the DC current through first conductive path 328, and/or any other suitable method for determining when to open gas tube switch 100.
- variable impedance device 334 is reset to its lowest impedance state in anticipation of the closing of switch 332, when it is determined to resume normal operation.
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method 436 for use in interrupting direct current between an input portion, such as input portion 218 or 318, and an output portion, such as output portion 220 or 320, of a breaker assembly, such as breaker assembly 216 or 316.
- the method includes detecting 438 a fault condition and interrupting 440 a DC current between the input portion and the output portion of the breaker assembly in response to the detected fault condition by selective operation of a gas tube switch coupled between the input portion and the output portion and including a control grid.
- the above-described DC circuit breakers provide an efficient method for providing circuit protection in DC power distribution systems.
- the gas tube switch(es) used in the example embodiments are high voltage and high power capable gas tube switches.
- the gas tube switches are capable of opening very quickly and can standoff hundreds of kilovolts.
- the tubes can be combined in series and/or parallel to increase the voltage and/or current carrying capacity of the DC circuit breakers.
- An exemplary technical effect of the methods, systems, and apparatus described herein includes at least one of: (a) detecting a fault condition; and (b) interrupting a DC current between an input portion and an output portion of a breaker assembly in response to a detected fault condition.
- DC circuit breakers, breaker assemblies, and methods for interrupting direct current are described above in detail.
- the DC circuit breakers, breaker assemblies, and methods for interrupting direct current are not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, but rather, components of systems and/or steps of the methods may be utilized independently and separately from other components and/or steps described herein.
- the methods may also be used in combination with other systems and are not limited to practice with only the DC circuit breakers, breaker assemblies, and methods as described herein.
