Generator Circuit Breaker Compartment

The Generator circuit breaker (GCB) compartment provides on-line isolation in the main power circuit between the generator and generator transformer using a vacuum or SF6 draw-out circuit breaker. Metal enclosed switchgear compartment houses both control and protection system components. Powergear has also designed mobile cubicles housing line side and neutral side bus bars along with Generator Circuit Breaker and corresponding equipment for metering and protection. Mobile GCB cubicles are mounted on a trailer and can be used for short term mobile power plants.
