How It Protects

GenProtectM generator protection diagram Generator output passes through protective sensing and a vacuum circuit breaker before supplying the facility electrical system. G GENERATOR SENSING VACUUM BREAKER POWER SYSTEM PROTECTIVE RELAY

Protective relays monitor generator and system conditions and command the vacuum circuit breaker to isolate the generator when a qualifying fault or abnormal condition is detected.
