Application

Substation engineering has become more critical as power quality issues such as harmonic attenuation, power factor correction and other complex electrical needs arise. New site requirements add other challenges, such as aesthetics and environmental constraints. Substation automation and plant-wide systems automation also have become major concerns.

• The substation is the very foundation of your productivity, from the most important machinery to the office lights.
• New equipment and new regulations can make the substation a more challenging engineering problem than it appears on the surface.
• The substation is often an interface point, bringing multiple organisational needs into the picture.

Substation Solution

GE Consumer & Industrial has an extensive range of products and services to insure all aspects of substation engineering are met. This includes our line of Medium and Low Voltage Switchgear, Air & Vacuum circuit breakers, transformers and monitoring systems.

Switchgear

Including Medium Voltage and Low Voltage:

• P/V-40.5 Metal Clad Enclosed Switchgear
• AK2000 Type LV Switchgear

The products are indoor electrical distribution equipment which apply to 3 phase AC 50 HZ distribution single busbar and single busbar sectionalized systems with related voltage of 40.5kV and rated frequency of 50Hz as electric power acceptance and distribution, circuit control, protection and inspection.

Equipped with VB2 High Performance Vacuum Breakers, the advanced technology, operational safety and reliability are fully guaranteed. Fixed type load switches can also be installed in the switchgear.

With 5 kinds of interlocking protective functions, the switchgear has been tested with internal fault arc, condensation and dirty effect.

Circuit Breakers

Rated from 400 to 4000A the M-PACT circuit breaker has been designed to meet the most stringent demands in fault detection and safe interruption thereof.

The range has been developed to be aesthetically and technically co-ordinated with other protective devices within the GE Power Controls industrial product ranges.

Cast coil transformers offer several advantages over alternative transformer technologies:

The breaker range has a common height and depth and is available in both fixed pattern and draw out versions which can be manually or electrically operated. Designed to offer multiple mains connection options it also comes with a wide range of easy-to-install accessories.

Transformer

WaveCast 724™ cast coil transformers from GE are characterized by proven technology, application flexibility, lower installation cost, operating efficiency and environmental acceptability.

Advanced design of the winding assembly establishes superior performance to meet today's exacting needs. Indoors or out, they are designed for use in the most demanding and diverse environments and in all applications requiring reliable electrical power. Typical applications of cast coil transformers include:

• Steel mills
• Industrial critical power solutions
• Pulp & paper mills
• Chemical plants
• Cement & mining operations
• Automotive industry
• High rise building & water-side installations

Cast coil transformers offer several advantages over alternative transformer technologies:

• Mechanical strength. | Because of the strong protection provided by the vacuum cast epoxy encapsulated coils, Wavecast 724™ transformers are stronger than either liquid or ventilated dry-type transformers. Short circuit tests have proven this strength well beyond ANSI requirements. GE designs and manufactures its cast coils to be among the strongest in the industry
• Suitability for simple indoor installations | Unlike the case with liquid filled transformers, indoor installations do not require an automatic fire extinguishing system or fire vault, oil checking or replacing, or a liquid confinement area
