Designed for OEMs serving domestic and export markets,
"global" Series G Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) have
global ratings for NEMAT and IEC voltages, and KEMA, CE
certification markings on all frame sizes through 2500
amperes. Newly designed GE, GJ and GL Frames offer
OEM-friendly accessories, space-saving footprints, advancements in
electronic
trip units, and demanding distribution panel
performance.
The GN and GR Frames are based on the proven Series CT
ND and RD MCCBs with new global markings and metric threading for line
and
load conductors.
Advancements in arc interruption allow high performance
in smaller sizes.
• 1/3 less panel space is needed for new Series G Frames
up through 630 amperes (compared to Series C and most competitive
offerings).
• Only five frames are needed to cover all current
ranges through 2500 amperes.
Less Inventory and Expediting
The Series G offering is designed to simplify how OEMs
buy breakers.
• Common internal accessories — The same UVRs, shunt
trips and auxiliary contacts are used on GE, GJ and GL breakers (15
through 630 amperes). No more stocking and expediting
accessories for each breaker frame.
• Global ratings — NEMA and IEC ratings marked on the
breaker along with IEC 60947-2, CCC, CE and Kema Keur markings
included on Series G labels.
No more stocking/expediting breakers for the export
market.
• No rating plugs for electronic trip units — GJ and GL
MCCBs (20 through 630 amperes) use only three-to-four interchangeable
electronic trip units to cover all current ranges.
Faster Startup and Less Downtime
Series G accessories take less installation time and
money than those of alternative MCCBs. Their electronic trip units and
ground fault
modules reduce the risk of equipment failure.
• Field-installable internal accessories on all frames.
• World-class external accessories — Plug-in blocks,
flexible shaft and multiple conductor lugs, finger-safe shields,
electrical operators,
lock-offs and other accessories are designed for fast
OEM installation.
• Easy-to-use dials adjust settings on electronic trip
units. Tamper-resistant covers inhibit inadvertent adjustments of trip
unit settings.
• 30 mA earth leakage modules — For less installed cost
than a ground fault relay system, 30 mA, field-installable ground fault
modules
allow precise ground fault coordination while reducing
the risk of injury and equipment damage from grounding problems.
• Built-in ground fault from 20 amperes — The GJ MCCB
can cover ground fault applications from 20 through 250 amperes;
larger frames cover up to 2500 amperes.
• Improved coordination — DigitripE 310+ electronic trip
units are built to work in the most extreme conditions and applications.
Their
higher instantaneous pickup (14X) prevents nuisance
tripping in high inrush applications, yet they are precise enough to
work in highly coordinated
systems with a "2X" setting to prevent widespread
outages of power.
