Dear Forum Members,
In my previous thread with a general question about MV & LV generator, i have faced a lot of critic on asking general question from some folks while some replies in a very professional manner and thank to all of them.
Now coming up with a specific question, the question is,
I have seven MV generators 3150kVA, 13.8kV just delivered to site (photo attached).The breaker in the synchronization panel for generator is 200A from which MV cables will be connected to generator terminal box. The question is, Do we need a circuit breaker at the termination point in generator to protect the cable length from synchronization panel upto generator terminal?. The generator delivered on site is with a terminal box mounted on the genset but without a circuit breaker. Our Specification call for a circuit breaker at generator terminal and during material submital review the supplier in compliance statement put the breaker option in MEP contractor scope. The external MV breaker if brought by the contractor cannot fit in the terminal box or else it can be placed in a separate assembly nearby the generator terminal box.
waiting for the valuable feedback.
Thanks
