Technical FAQs 4

What is a circuit breaker in a substation?

A circuit breaker in substation is a key component in electrical power systems, designed to interrupt the flow of electricity when a fault occurs, such as a short circuit or overload. Depending on system design, these devices can operate manually or automatically and come in various types, including air, vacuum, oil, and SF₆ gas.

How long does a substation circuit breaker last?

A substation circuit breaker has three critical life stages: initial installation, maintenance and testing, and end-of-life. Following proper procedures at all of these stages will extend the life and enhance the efficacy of your circuit breakers.

Will a 220 kV substation be needed in Rwanda?

The 220 kV substation Birembo will be needed in the near future. Because there are different ongoing projects, it should be decided by the Rwandan authorities and the financing institutions which project shall handle which part of the Birembo 220 kV substation.

Do substation circuit breakers comply with ANSI standards?

Substation circuit breakers must comply with national and international reliability and safety standards, such as those set out by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
