Gas Tightness Guarantee
GE Vernova leads the industry in SF6 gas tightness testing technology including seals, castings, and plumbing systems. Each breaker is factory tested using GE Vernova’s proprietary gas tightness testing system which provides measurable, quantifiable test results on the breaker in its fully assembled, as-shipped condition.
Quality
GE Vernova 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.
Installation and Maintenance
The DT1-145 63 is factory tested and adjusted and don not require an y “special tools” for installation. Designed with the smallest symmetrical footprint to allow for minimized foundation costs, they are recognized worldwide as easy-to-install and operate circuit breakers. Thanks to the low energy mechanism and lifetime lubricants, the DT series is virtually maintenance free.
The DT1 series on-site installation requires only a few simple steps. For installations where truck shipment is impossible, all DT series circuit breakers can be readied for standard container shipment with only their bushings disassembled.
