A current control device is disclosed. The current control device includes
control circuitry integrally arranged with a current path and at least
one micro electromechanical system (MEMS) switch pair disposed in the
current path. The current control device further includes a hybrid
arcless limiting technology (HALT) circuit connected in parallel with the
at least one MEMS switch pair facilitating the opening of the at least
one MEMS switch pair.
