Brief Description of the WL
Circuit Breaker
Circuit breakers today are no longer
simply devices for protecting equipment,
transformers, generators and motors.
Many users now require a complete
overview of the plant from a central
control room and round-the-clock access
to all available information. Modern power
distribution systems are characterized by
the methods used to network circuit
breakers – both with each other and other
components. The circuit breakers in the WL
Circuit Breaker family have a lot to offer:
it is possible to carry out analysis and
maintenance procedures remotely via
the Internet. Operating staff can be
given immediate access to information
on system status and alarms.
The WL Circuit Breaker covers a protection
range from 200A to 5000A. The devices are
available with different interrupting ratings,
allowing short-circuit currents of up to 200kA
to be interrupted reliably.
WL Circuit Breakers can be adapted to
different system conditions, which means
that a rating plug can be used to adapt
each circuit breaker to the appropriate
rated current. This ensures that optimum
protection is provided, even if changes
have been made in the system.
