Q: What is a generator circuit breaker?
A:
A generator circuit breaker (GCB) is a specialized switchgear device used in power generation systems to safely connect or disconnect a generator from the electrical grid or load. It is designed to interrupt high fault currents, protect the generator from overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults, and ensure reliable operation during normal and abnormal conditions.

How Does Oil Loss Affect SF6 Relay Performance?1.SF6 Electrical Equipment and the Common Problem of Oil Leakage in SF6 Density RelaysSF6 electrical equipment is now widely used in power utilities and industrial enterprises, significantly advancing the development of the power industry. The arc-quenching and insulating medium in such equipment is sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas, which must not leak. Any leakage compromises the reliable and safe operation of the equipment, making it essential to monitor the SF6 gas density. Currently, mechanicalFelix Spark10/21/2025 -
MVDC: Future of Efficient, Sustainable Power GridsThe Global Energy Landscape Is Undergoing a Fundamental Transformation toward a "fully electrified society," characterized by widespread carbon-neutral energy and the electrification of industry, transportation, and residential loads.In today’s context of high copper prices, critical mineral conflicts, and congested AC power grids, Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) systems can overcome many limitations of traditional AC networks.

Grounding Causes of Cable Lines and the Principles of Incident HandlingOur 220 kV substation is located far from the urban center in a remote area, surrounded primarily by industrial zones such as Lanshan, Hebin, and Tasha Industrial Parks. Major high-load consumers in these zones—including silicon carbide, ferroalloy, and calcium carbide plants—account for approximately 83.87% of our bureau’s total load. The substation operates at voltage levels of 220 kV, 110 kV, and 35 kV.The 35 kV low-voltage side mainly supplies feeders to ferroalloy and silicon carbide plantsFelix Spark10/21/2025 -
