a positive bus and a negative bus operable for providing source power to a load;

a breaker semiconductor switch provided in the positive bus and being operable to break the source power being provided to the load in response to overcurrent;

an electromechanical switch electrically coupled to the positive bus in parallel with the breaker semiconductor switch;

a first capacitor electrically coupled between the positive and negative buses at an output side of the breaker semiconductor switch;

a second capacitor electrically coupled to the positive bus in parallel with the breaker semiconductor switch; and

a first delay circuit electrically coupled in series with the first capacitor between the positive and negative buses, wherein the breaker semiconductor switch is in an open position and the electromechanical switch is in a closed position when overcurrent is not present to allow source power to flow to the load through the electromechanical switch, and wherein upon detection of the overcurrent the breaker semiconductor switch is closed, the electromechanical switch is opened and the first delay circuit is controlled to delay when reverse bias current is provided from the first capacitor to the breaker semiconductor switch to prevent source power from being provided to the load to give the electromechanical switch time to open.
