Rosatom was the first in the Russian Federation to develop a generator breaker for high-power power plants. JSC RASU (a division of Rosatom) has completed the first stage of testing an experimental generator switch for high-power power units, developed jointly with the All-Russian Electrotechnical Institute of Rosatom. Equipment of this type was not previously produced in Russia; Its creation will eliminate the dependence on two foreign providers.

The last tests with overcurrents and short-circuit currents are ahead of us. The generator circuit breaker is the most complex switching device in the electrical system: it is installed between the generator and the step transformer and protects the station's main equipment. To test new equipment, VEI and Rosseti STC developed new stands. "The generator breaker is a critical component of the power unit and one of the most complex products of modern electrical engineering. It must carry currents of tens of thousands of amperes over time, withstand extreme thermal and electrodynamic effects, and operate reliably as part of the power supply circuit of a nuclear power plant. Until this moment, only two foreign companies could create the new development of our project by ourselves and eliminate such new equipment; Nuclear energy and other types The positive completion of the first stage of the test confirms the correctness of the adopted technical solutions and the highest competence of our engineers," said the head of RASU, Andrei Butko. ▫ BigpowerNews in Max | Telegram.
