Abstract

A circuit breaker includes a breaker body with a circuit therethrough from a line terminal to a load terminal. A pair of isolation contacts in the circuit are configured to close the circuit in a closed state with the isolation contacts touching one another and to break the circuit in an open state with the isolation contacts spaced apart from one another. A solid-state breaking switch is connected in the circuit in electrical series with the isolation contacts so both the solid-state breaking switch and the isolation contacts have to be closed in order for current to flow in the circuit. A controller is operatively connected to control the solid-state breaking switch based on the open state or the closed state of the isolation contacts and based on electrical current passing through the circuit.
