FAQ

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.

1. IntroductionFrequent occurrences of PT burnout and primary - side fuse melting in combined transformers lead to inaccurate energy meter measurement and seriously threaten the safe operation of the power grid. This paper focuses on the repeated PT damage and fuse melting issues of a 35 kV combined transformer, investigates the fault causes, proposes solutions, and recovers the incorrect electricity quantity through correction coefficients. This effectively reduces grid losses and mitigates ser

Analysis of an Explosion Accident of a 35 kV Voltage Transformer

Voltage transformers (PTs) consist of iron cores and winding coils, working similarly to transformers but with small capacity. They convert high voltage to low voltage for protection, measurement and metering devices, widely used in plants/stations. Classified by insulation: dry - type (≤6 kV), cast - type (indoor 3 - 35 kV), oil - immersed (outdoor ≥35 kV), and SF₆ gas - filled (for combined appliances).During substation operation, accidents from PT electromagnetic resonance or insulation

What are the methods to reduce the failure rate of outdoor current transformers?

I. Research Reasons and Background1. Importance of Current TransformersCurrent transformers play the role of current transformation and electrical isolation. They convert the large current of the primary system into a proportional small secondary current, which is supplied to measuring instruments, relay protection, and automatic devices. In the power system, the role of current transformers is irreplaceable and directly plays a key role in the safe and stable operation of the power grid.2. Hars
