GE’s GL 316 and GL 316X live tank circuit breakers for outdoor installation feature third generation self-blast interrupter chambers and spring-operated mechanisms (FK). These field–proven interrupter chambers operate on the energy optimized self-blast principle. The FK3 type mechanisms equip the entire range of circuit breakers with more than 180,000 references worldwide.
The GL 316 and GL 316X are field-proven and time-tested in high voltage switchgear, providing high mechanical endurance and very low restrike probability according to IEC 622271-100 class M2 & C2. The circuit breakers include a disconnecting option allowing for quick, easy installation. For simplified maintenance, the closing resistor is located in the same gas volume as breaker chamber.
