CURRENT BALANCING APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PARALLEL CONNECTED CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Currents may be balanced in an apparatus including first and second conductors electrically connected to a third conductor and configured to be coupled to respective first and second parallel-connected circuit breaker switches using at least one magnetic core positioned adjacent at least one of the first and second conductors to introduce an inductance in the at least one of the first and second conductors. The at least one core may include at least one magnetic material ring that at least partially surrounds the at least one of the first and second conductors. The at least one magnetic material ring may include a plurality of laminated layers of grain-oriented steel.
