Siemens medium-voltage circuit breakers provide robust protection with advanced arc-quenching technology for safe fault interruption in power networks.
Why GMSG Vacuum Circuit Breaker?
GMSG vacuum circuit breakers are drawout medium-voltage circuit breakers designed for use in Siemens GM-SG and GM-SG-AR metal-clad switchgear. The breaker uses vacuum interrupters with a stored-energy operator, electrical controls, interlocks, and primary and secondary disconnects. With voltage ratings from 5 kV to 27 kV, interrupting ratings to 63 kA, and continuous current ratings up to 3000 A (increased capabilities with fan cooling in applicable switchgear configurations). GMSG vacuum circuit breakers support reliable switching, simplified maintenance access, and coordinated application in medium-voltage power distribution systems.
Key benefits
Simplify maintenance
The front-mounted operating mechanism is readily accessible to support inspection, and maintenance to reduce service complexity. No lift truck is needed to insert or remove GMSG circuit breakers in the lower cells at floor level.
Enhance safety
Improved operator safety with vacuum interruption technology, integrated interlocks, and compatibility with the Siemens Integrated Electrical Racking System (SIERS) for remote breaker racking.
Standardize operations
A common stored-energy operator across Siemens MV breaker families simplifies training and maintenance, while interlock logic enables a single spare breaker to support multiple applications, simplifying spare-parts management.
