DT1-362

Transportation

The circuit breaker design is optimized for quick and easy installation at site. Where truck shipments are possible, individual poles are shipped with bushings and the operating mechanism assembled. In this case, site work involves installing the poles on the supporting frame and making the necessary low voltage electrical connections. Each phase is factory set to the proper position, eliminating the need for complex rigging at site.

Leading Gas Testing

Every DT1-362 breaker produced by GE is subjected to a rigorous SF₆ tightness testing protocol. Our state-of-the-art testing system validates the gas integrity of every circuit breaker in the as shipped condition. This proprietary system provides quantifiable evidence of our <0.5% guaranteed leak rate in the exact configuration in which the breaker is delivered.

Certified Quality

The DT1-362 is suitable for applications up to nameplate ratings, including definite purpose ratings and is uniquely qualified under the latest ANSI IEC standards as C2 class for capacitance switching including back-to-back (very low restrike probability) and for reactor switching applications. Extensive mechanical operation design testing ensures trouble-free operation for the lifetime of the circuit breaker. Intensive production leak testing ensures superior in-service SF₆ performance.

GE designs, manufactures, tests and delivers its circuit breakers in accordance with the latest IEEE/ANSI and IEC standards, maintaining a quality assurance system according to ISO-9011 and ISO-14001 certifications. The center of excellence for dead tank circuit breakers is located in Charleroi, PA (USA).
