Abstract

Provided is a breaker including a plurality of breaking circuits for breaking a current, in which the plurality of breaking circuits include capacitors on output sides that are not connected with each other.

Claims (10)

1 . A circuit breaker comprising:

a plurality of breaking circuits configured to interrupt a current,

wherein each breaking circuit of the plurality of breaking circuits includes a capacitor on an output side on which at least another breaking circuit, among the plurality of breaking circuits, is not coupled to the breaking circuit.

2 . The circuit breaker according to claim 1 comprising:

a plurality of breaking units each of which is configured to interrupt the current flowing in two directions among a plurality of directions; and

a housing including a plurality of slots in which the respective breaking units are inserted,

wherein the housing houses a circuit in which each of the plurality of breaker units is coupled between points of different lines in a corresponding slot among the plurality of slots, and

wherein capacitors of the plurality of breaking circuits are housed in a same slot on the output side, among the plurality of slots.

3 . An interruption method of interrupting a current flowing in each of multiple directions by a circuit breaker, the circuit breaker including a plurality of breaking circuits each of which includes a capacitor on an output side on which at least another breaking circuit, among the plurality of breaking circuits, is not coupled to the breaking circuit, the interruption method comprising:

interrupting the current in each of the multiple directions, using the plurality of breaking circuits in the circuit breaker.
