Can the GVR be used as a sectionaliser?
A. Yes, the GVR can be supplied with dedicated sectionalising electronics for current sensing sectionalising applications. Alternatively, the Panacea can be used with modified logic to offer either current or voltage sensing sectionalisers. The GVS is a variation on the GVR that utilises the GVR circuit breaker including vacuum interrupters, magnetic actuator mechanism and current transformers inside the aluminium tank. The sectionalising logic is provided by tank mounted dedicated sectionalising electronics with a pole mounted VT for the power supply. The GVS can be upgraded to a remote controlled sectionaliser by the addition of a suitable RTU located in a pole mounted control box. Connections to the GVS are achieved through a conveniently located panel mounted socket. One of the benefits of utilising the GVS as a sectionaliser is that it can be later upgraded to a full auto-recloser by the addition of a suitable auto-reclosing relay such as the Polarr or Panacea.
