Product descriptions from the supplier
Overview
Optimized interrupting chamber
Based on well proven benefits of HEC technology, the newly developed HEC Series interrupting chamber encompasses almost two decades of successful GCB field operations.
It is capable to interrupt short-circuit currents up to 300 kA with rated normal current up to 33,500 A and suitable to protect the most demanding generator applications.
Type-tested according to latest standards
HEC Series is type-tested according to IEC/IEEE 62271-37-013, including switching with full-phase opposition fault current (180° out-of-phase).
In addition, it is type-tested to interrupt generator-source short-circuit currents of 160 kA exhibiting delayed current zeros up to 130 percent degree of asymmetry as per G2* class, common for turbo generators. The above capabilities exceed the mandatory requirements of the latest GCB standard and IEEE C37.013.
Enhanced passive cooling system
Based on the most advanced passive heat pipe technology for GCB that is patented and is maintenance free for 20 years. The system is monitored online by GMS600 for full reliability.
Fully separated disconnector and interrupting chamber
Both main and arcing contacts of circuit-breaker are fully in SF6 for safe and reliable power plant operations. The disconnector is fitted in series with the main contacts of the circuit-breaker to provide safe and visible isolation between the step-up trans-former and the generator. The short-stroke design contributes to the HEC 10 compact footprint without compromising the insulation level.

Neutral point grounding operation mode for 110kV～220kV power grid transformersThe arrangement of neutral point grounding operation modes for 110kV～220kV power grid transformers shall meet the insulation withstand requirements of transformer neutral points, and shall also strive to keep the zero-sequence impedance of substations basically unchanged, while ensuring that the zero-sequence comprehensive impedance at any short-circuit point in the system does not exceed three times the positive-sequence comprehensive impedance.For 220kV and 110kV transformers in new constructi01/29/2026 -
Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr01/29/2026 -
Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I01/29/2026 -
Understanding Transformer Neutral GroundingI.

During operation, alternating magnetic fields surround the windings. Due to electromagnetic induction, parasitic capacitances exist between the high-voltage and low-voltage windings, between the low-voltage winding and the core, and between the core and the tank.
