VCP-WG Medium Voltage Generator Circuit Breakers

MV Generator Circuit Breakers thumb VCP-WG Medium Voltage Generator Circuit Breakers Improve uptime, reliability and safety with Eaton's power generation protection. Eaton’s VCP-WG vacuum generator breakers are designed and tested to IEEE standards, quietly and compactly handle high continuous currents, and provide medium voltage protection up to 180 MW generation.

Features
• Handles high continuous AC current and voltage, then safely switches through extreme out-of-phase voltages and high-stress asymmetrical currents using “clean and green” vacuum interruption without fail for over 10,000 normal operations.
• Superior performance and versatility allows for use in many applications: fossil hydro and wind power, packaged power plants, industrial companies using combined cycle/combustion turbine plants, government and military, commercial institutions, petro-chemical and process industries, forestry, pulp and paper, mining exploration, and marine.
• Demonstrated high interruption ratings up to 75 kA, with high DC fault content up to 75%, as proven by high power laboratory tests, makes VCP-W generator circuit breakers ideal for interrupting high fault currents of full energy of power systems.
• Available up to 15kV 75kA and 4000A in drawout configurations (VCP-WG) and 15kV, 75kA 6000A in fixed configurations (VCP-WGR) and tested for 10,000 mechanical operations, ensuring a long life.
