The current transfer circuit transfers current in a high voltage DC circuit breaker from an in-line switching device which carries the current in normal conduction to a shunt current interrupter which is capable of increasing the breaker impedance to break the high voltage DC circuit. The current transfer device employs first and second serially connected in-line switches, the first of which has a serially connected precharged capacitor, switch, and inductor paralleled therearound to force commutate the first in-line switch to transfer current to the shunt current interrupter. The first switch and the forced commutation equipment need only be of sufficient voltage rating to withstand the initial conduction voltage across the shunt current interrupter. Opening of the second switch isolates the first switch and the forced commutation equipment from the line voltage.
