The　DC　circuit　breaker　serves　as　a　critical　component　in　maintaining　the　safety　and　stability　of　DC　power　systems.　Its　performance　is　pivotal　for　effective　fault　isolation　during　system　failures.　This　paper　proposes　a　novel　hybrid　DC　circuit　breaker　topology　with　current　limiting　capability　(CL-HCB),　which　consists　of　a　low-loss　branch　and　a　main　breaking　branch.　During　normal　operation,　the　capacitors　are　capable　of　self-charging.　When　the　system　faults,　the　fault　current　is　rapidly　diverted　to　the　main　breaking　branch,　and　the　current-limiting　inductor　is　engaged　to　suppress　the　fault　current＇s　rise　rate　by　utilizing　the　capacitor＇s　charging　or　discharging　characteristics,　thereby　interrupting　the　fault　current.　Additionally,　the　topology　supports　adaptive　reclosing.　This　paper　details　the　structure　and　working　principle　of　the　topology　and　build　a　single-terminal　equivalent　system　in　MATLAB/Simulink　to　verify　the　accuracy　of　the　theoretical　analysis　and　demonstrate　the　feasibility　of　the　proposed　topology.　©　2025　IEEE.
