9 High current switchgear High current switchgear is understood to form the link, required in power stations of all types, between the generator and the unit transformer, through which the electrical energy generated is fed into the transmission or distribution network (see section 11, High voltage switchgear). 9.1 Generator circuit-breakers Generator circuit-breakers are switchgear in the high-current connection between the generator and unit (generator) transformer. They must be capable of handling the very high operating currents (up to 50 kA) on the one hand, and the extremely high short- circuit currents occurring power station operation on the other hand. These require- ments for generator breakers are much more stringent than those for breakers in net- work service and are specified in detail in the (unique in the world) “IEEE” C37.013-1997 standard (ANSI). The following list summarizes the most important areas of application and the advantages.
