Live tank circuit breaker

GE’s GL 313 live tank circuit breakers for outdoor installations are designed to operate at temperatures down to -55°C with mixed gases and -40°C with pure SF₆ and are equipped with the latest technologies in the field of switching chambers and spring drives. Our latest double-motion technology effectively reduces the opening energy by approximately 65%. The GL 313 live tank circuit breaker ensures a high level of reliability, even in extremely difficult conditions and climates or in areas with high seismic activity.

The GL 313 circuit breaker is pre-adjusted at the factory before shipment. Thanks to this pre-assembly, no adjustments are necessary during installation and commissioning of the circuit breaker, allowing for quick and easy on-site installation with long maintenance intervals.
