NOVELTY - The circuit breaker operates in a closed mode, an open mode or a transition mode. The circuit breaker has a first contact terminal (1), a second contact terminal (2) that receives DC current (6) from the first contact terminal when in the closed mode and a shunt terminal (3) that receives DC current from the first contact terminal when in the open mode. A diverting device, in the transition mode, promotes diverting of an electrical arc that extends between the contact terminals to extend between the first contact terminal and the shunt terminal.    USE - Circuit breaker for interrupting an electrical DC current from a power source to an electrical load, used in an energy system using wind turbine generators, such as fixed-speed wind turbine generator, variable speed wind turbine generator, as energy sources. Can also be used in other types of distributed power production plants, e.g. solar power, photo voltaic power, wave energy power units, also know as distributed renewable power production plant.    ADVANTAGE - Time it takes for the circuit to be interrupted is reduced by providing a diverting device that promotes movement of the electrical arc to the shunt terminal. Disconnect time is minimized and time certainty for the cessation of current flow to the load is provided to provide maximal protection to downstream loads and components.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for interrupting an electrical DC current from a power source to an electrical load with a circuit breaker.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the schematic diagram in which a first Contact terminal is fully retracted with the electrical arc current fully diverted to shunt Terminal and the shunt impedance, and the load impedance is fully disconnected from the DC Power Sources that are in the process of shutting down.
