A device is for opening or closing a DC circuit with at least one busbar. The device includes an electric switch for opening or closing the DC circuit; a fault current detector; a trigger unit and a precharging device. The electric switch opens the DC circuit via the trigger unit upon a fault current being detected by the fault current detector. Further, the precharging device restores the voltage on the busbar prior to closing the electric switch. The device further includes a control unit for automatically closing the electric switch after the pre-charging process.
