VD4G generator circuit breaker
Small footprint, full protection
for generator applications
ABB offers its new vacuum
generator circuit breakers at 15 kV,
4000A, 50 kA in accordance to the
new dual logo IEEE/IEC 62271-37-013
to satisfy your business needs in
power generation applications.
Protect your assets
• Use a solution complitely in accordance
with latest global standard - IEC as well
as IEEE.
• Count on a generator circuit breaker
suitable for all highly demanding
conditions, including out-of-phase
condition and island mode
• Be safe thanks to a completely tested
solution for DC-component up to
130%, so no need to add any time delay
in the protection
Maximize your output
• Experience the easy installation/
integration of VD4G, thanks to its
equivalent interfaces and dimensions
like VD4
• Accelerate your projects with
outstanding technical support from
our field application engineering team
Optimize your investment
• Choose ratings that fit your needs from
25/16 kA @ 15 kV to 50/50 kA @ 15 kV
• Take advantage of using the same
compact switchgear setup like in
power distribution systems
