Description
Drawout type generator circuit breakers for use in type GM-SG metal-clad switchgear are available. These circuit breakers are derived from the same type 3AH3 family of circuit breaker operating mechanisms as our standard non-generator circuit breakers. The basic design of the circuit breakers is the same, making maintenance and operation of the generator circuit breakers the same as for non-generator circuit breakers. This means that there is no incremental or additional training needed for your maintenance or operational personnel. The type GMSG-GCB generator circuit breakers exploit the long history of successful service provided by the entire type 3A (including types 3AF and 3AH operators) family of vacuum circuit breakers.
These generator circuit breakers fully conform to the requirements for generator circuit breakers as specified in IEEE Std C37.013, "IEEE Standard for AC High Voltage Generator Circuit Breakers Rated on a Symmetrical Current Basis."
