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.

Impact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesImpact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesWhen the grounding electrode of an Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission system is located close to a renewable energy power station, the return current flowing through the earth can cause a rise in ground potential around the electrode area. This ground potential rise leads to a shift in the neutral-point potential of nearby power transformers, inducing DC bias (or DC offset) in their01/15/2026 -
HECI GCB for Generators – Fast SF6 Circuit Breaker1.Definition and Function1.1 Role of the Generator Circuit BreakerThe Generator Circuit Breaker (GCB) is a controllable disconnect point located between the generator and the step-up transformer, serving as an interface between the generator and the power grid. Its primary functions include isolating generator-side faults and enabling operational control during generator synchronization and grid connection. The operating principle of a GCB is not significantly different from that of a standard c01/06/2026 -

How to Test Insulation Resistance of Distribution TransformersIn practical work, insulation resistance of distribution transformers is generally measured twice: the insulation resistance between thehigh-voltage (HV) windingand thelow-voltage (LV) winding plus the transformer tank, and the insulation resistance between theLV windingand theHV winding plus the transformer tank.If both measurements yield acceptable values, it indicates that the insulation among the HV winding, LV winding, and transformer tank is qualified. If either measurement fails, pairwise12/25/2025 -
