Generator circuit breaker - max. 80 000 A, 1 000 MW | FKG series
Many of todays power plants are more than 20 years old and the need to extend their life time is increasing in todays economic and energy context. For this reason, refurbishment or retrofit is necessary to renew the power plants by replacing the main equipment including the generator circuit breaker An old GCB needs more maintenance than a new one and can cause unscheduled shut downs. The maintenance of an old GCB requires a heavy budget and, most of the time; spare parts are not available anymore. A new GCB with the latest technology does not need maintenance during the first 5 years and offers a warranty period.Our generator circuit breaker team can propose a pertinent retrofit offer, which fits the criteria of reliability, adaptability and availability of each project. From the site survey to erection, Alstom Grid proposes an integrated offer for the utmost time and cost optimisation including the engineering for the adaptation of the GCB to the available space, to the existing bus bars and existing civil works.
