For selecting large-capacity AC high-voltage generator circuit breakers in a large generator system
comparative calculations are conducted for a million kilowatts rated generator following the standards of GB/T 14824—2008
IEEE Std C37.013—1997 and IEC 60909-0—2001.The calculation results and the test reports of generator circuit breakers are analyzed
and a suggestion is hence offered that absolute value of short-circuit current should be used for examining the short-circuit current breaking capacity of an AC high-voltage generator circuit breaker instead of percentage value.
