GL 314 / GL 314X
Live tank circuit breaker for 245 / 300 kV
Highly Reliable Performance
GE’s GL 314 and GL 314X live tank circuit breakers for outdoor installation feature third generation self-blast interrupter chambers and spring-operated mechanisms (FK). These field–proven interrupter chambers operate on the energy optimized self-blast principle. The FK3 type mechanisms equip the entire range of circuit breakers with more than 180,000 references worldwide. The GL 314 and GL 314X are field-proven and time-tested in high voltage switchgear, providing high mechanical endurance and very low restrike probability according to IEC 622271-100 class M2 & C2. GE’s live tank circuit breakers provide a high level of reliability, even under extreme conditions and climates, or in highly active seismic areas. The circuit breakers are completely assembled before delivery, allowing for quick, easy installation and commissioning with long intervals between maintenance. |
