363/550/800kV SF6 Insulated Breaker

The LW13A/23-363, LW13A-550, and LW13-800 family of products represent

the technology platform for the highest kV rated XD|GE dead tank breakers.
Single interrupting units per pole are utilized on breaker products from 363kV
to 550kV without parallel capacitors and pre-insertion resistors. In addition,
double interrupting unit designs are used for products from 363kV up to
800kV. Parallel capacitors and pre-insertion resistors are incorporated
when double interrupting units per pole are used.

Breakers from 363kV to 800kV can carry continuous current up to 5000A

and have interrupting capability for short circuit at either 50kV or 63kA,
per customer specification.

Breakers above 363kV are equipped with the CYA8 hydromechanical

mechanism. The fully integrated hydro-mechanical operating
mechanisms are maintenance-free designs with long-term stability and
reliability.

363kV - 800kV series dead tank breakers are tested and certified per IEC®
standards by XIHARI®, the national HV lab in China.

Exceptional Quality
A focus on quality is an ongoing strategic initiative for XD|GE and that is
evident throughout the manufacturing environment. The quality process
begins with an incoming inspection of all materials to ensure the best
possible inputs before manufacturing begins.

Throughout the production and assembly process, there are multiple

checkpoints in the documented test plan, including both visual and “stop
flow” inspections. The production facilities follow strict non-conforming
procedures to identify, control and avoid the use and delivery of non-
conforming products. Each production facility has developed strict
environmental standards, including controls of cleanliness, temperature
and humidity, and has controls in place to monitor and manage to the
established standards.

In addition, XD|GE has a dedicated measuring and inspection department

with certified, full-time inspectors in each of its manufacturing sites. The
measuring and inspection department provides a secondary cross-
inspection for all work in process, as well as finished products, ensuring a
high level of quality is achieved throughout the manufacturing process. First
Pass Yield and Cost of Quality data is maintained and analyzed, per product
family, in order to drive continual product and process improvements and
higher product reliability.

From raw materials acquisition and inspection to finished product, XD|GE’s

breakers are designed to meet rigid quality processes so the installed
product provides the highest level of reliability.
