RE: Alstrom Generator Circuit Breaker, anyone with Operational experience?

To respond to exactly your question I would need to know what the problem is. In general the breakers have worked ok. Two things that you need to know with any device, espically power devices.
1. Insulation power factor tests are essential to the understanding of whemn these will fail
2. with circuit breakers never beliele the ductou readings unless done at the rated current. any questions get back to me.
