Flexible connections provide a detachable (bolted) connection between the Generator Circuit-Breaker life part and the conductor of the adjacent Isolated Phase Bus or busduct.
The flexible connections shall be designed for:
- Carry the rated continuous current
- Carry rated short-time withstand current
- Meet the dielectric strength requirement
- Compensate thermal expansion
- Withstand electrodynamic forces
- Provide a safe and stable connection
ABB’s Flexible Connections are:
- Type tested together with our Generator Circuit-Breakers
- Designed for adapting to minimal air clearance distances
- Silver plated to provide low resistance connection
- Designed to dismantle current transformers from GCB system
