The present invention relates to a high-voltage direct current (DC) circuit breaker which interrupts a fault current flowing in a power transmission or power distribution DC line when a fault occurs in the DC line. The high-voltage DC circuit breaker according to the present invention comprises: a main switch, installed in the DC line, for interrupting a current in the DC line by being opened when a fault occurs in one side or the other side of the DC line; a nonlinear resistor, connected in parallel to the main switch, for consuming overvoltage; an LC circuit connected in parallel to the main switch and comprising a capacitor and an inductor that are connected to each other in series to generate LC resonance; a first switching element, connected in parallel to the LC circuit, for switching in such a manner that the polarity of a positive voltage (+VC) or a negative voltage (-VC) charged at the capacitor by the resonance of the LC circuit can be changed and charged; and a second switching element, connected between the LC circuit and the DC line so as to be connected in series to the LC circuit, for switching in such a manner that the current pulse, generated by -VC voltage or +VC voltage charged at the capacitor, can be supplied to the main switch. |
