Description Advantages
- Optimisation of the use of arc energy enables
The GL300 series of SF6 circuit breakers are auto-
operation by means of a low energy spring
expansion type. They benefit both from our experience
mechanism.
and the latest technological development relating to
high voltage switchgear. - Spring mechanism for high reliability.
- Class C2 in capacitives switching.
The use of components produced in accordance with the
ISO 9001 certified quality assurance system ensures a - EHV lines operation.
high standard of reliability and availability.
- Shunt reactors closing and capacitor banks
operation.
The GL315 circuit breakers are made of two interrupting
chambers per pole. - Quick and easy erection on site.

Three operating mechanisms allow the circuit breaker Options

operation.
- Closing resistor.
The operating mechanism driving the circuit breakers - Monitoring system CBWatch-2.
from GL series are simplified, with charging time for
springs less than 10 s. - Point-on-wave controller RPH2.
