An object is to provide a DC power supply connector that can suppress occurrence of an arc discharge at DC power off with a small-scale configuration without reducing power efficiency during DC power supply and can reduce heat generation.

The connector includes, on at least any of a positive-electrode-side electrode side and a negative-electrode-side electrode side, a movable contact piece (20c) that touches a first contact (25) in a state where a terminal (11) on a power receiving side has been inserted and to touch a second contact (24) in a state where the terminal has not been inserted, and a current limiting circuit (30) including a switching element (T1). The current limiting circuit (30) does not flow a current to the switching element (T1) in the case where the movable contact piece (20c) is touching the first contact (25), and flows a current to the terminal (11) through the movable contact piece (20c) until the movable contact piece (20c) is linked to the second contact (24) after separation from the first contact (25), and gradually decreases the flowing current.

Multi-port power adapters. At least one example is a method including: supplying a first bus voltage to a first device by way of a DC-DC converter coupled to a link voltage; supplying a second bus voltage to a second device by way of a second DC-DC converter coupled to the link voltage; converting an AC voltage to the link voltage by way of an AC-DC converter; selecting, by a shunt regulator, a setpoint for the link voltage based on the first bus voltage and the second bus voltage; and regulating the link voltage to the setpoint by the AC-DC converter.

A direct current circuit breaker comprises a mechanical relay in a first supply line configured to conduct electrical current during steady-state operation and an auxiliary relay assembly in parallel with the mechanical relay to define an auxiliary breaker path for conducting electrical current during transient operation of the circuit breaker. The auxiliary relay assembly comprises a power-semiconductor circuit configured for selective current conduction and for bidirectional current blocking when in a non-conductive state. There is also a controller configured to (i) activate the power-semiconductor circuit to conduct in response to a command signal to stop transfer of the electrical power, in order to provide a zero voltage condition under which the mechanical relay is to deactivate; (ii) deactivate the mechanical relay when current is being conducted through the auxiliary breaker path; and (iii) deactivate the power-semiconductor circuit after the mechanical relay is deactivated to stop the transfer of the power.

A remote control device may control electrical loads and/or load control devices of a load control system without accessing electrical wiring.
