104W5360P001

GE 104W5360P001 is a specialized high-capacity circuit breaker designed for heavy-duty industrial and renewable energy applications, specifically engineered for main circuit protection in wind turbine power distribution systems.

Product Description

The GE 104W5360P001 is a robust electrical protection device primarily utilized within the wind energy sector, often found protecting the main power circuits of GE 1.5MW and similar series wind turbines. Manufactured by General Electric, this circuit breaker is critical for ensuring the safe operation of power generation equipment by interrupting current flow during overload or short-circuit conditions. The GE 104W5360P001 is built to handle significant electrical stresses, rated for high-voltage operations up to 690VAC, which is standard for wind turbine generation output. It features a substantial current rating, often calibrated around the 1459A to 1644A range depending on thermal settings, making it suitable for isolating large generators from the grid during faults.

The device is constructed with high-durability materials to withstand the rigorous environmental conditions often found in wind farm nacelles, including vibration and temperature fluctuations. The internal mechanism of the GE 104W5360P001 utilizes advanced arc-quenching technology to safely suppress the high-energy arcs that occur when breaking heavily loaded circuits. This ensures that the breaker can operate reliably over a long service life without frequent maintenance. Integration of this breaker into the turbine's pitch or converter cabinet allows for seamless coordination with the turbine's central control system, often communicating status via auxiliary contacts. Operators rely on the GE 104W5360P001 to prevent catastrophic damage to the generator and frequency converter, thereby protecting the asset's long-term viability. Its specific design allows for mounting in the compact electrical cabinets typical of renewable energy installations.
