ABB VD4G Vacuum Generator Circuit Breaker — vacuum generator circuit breaker

Description

The ABB VD4G Vacuum Generator Circuit Breaker offers a small footprint and full protection for generator applications, based on the proven and reliable VD4 platform with over 1,000,000 installations since 1986. It is tested to meet the stringent IEEE C37.013 and the new IEC/IEEE 62271-37-013 standards, the only standards for generator circuit breakers (GCB). The VD4G is capable of interrupting currents with delayed zero crossings that may occur during faults fed from the generator or during synchronization with the high-voltage grid. Its interrupting technology withstands severe transient recovery voltages (TRV) to protect critical equipment. It offers excellent duty with a high number of switching operations and is maintenance-free. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for installation in standard medium voltage switchgear, providing a cost-effective solution.
