KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Generator circuit breakers are electrical devices that have application in multi-unit stations between a generator and the step-up voltage transformer in which several relatively small generators are connected to a common bus. They are generally used at the outlet of high power generators ranging from 100MVA to 1800MVA to protect them in a fast, reliable, and cost-effective manner. The primary advantage of installing these circuit breakers is that fault current contributions from the generator can be interrupted by very few cycles for eliminating faults in the isolated phase bus. The rising demand for power transmission & improved power generation equipment with the increasing industrialization is the major driving factor for the market. Moreover, the environmental regulations on the SF6 circuit breaker technology are the major challenge for the market growth.


Based on the type, the market is segmented into airblast, vacuum, SF6, and others. The air blast circuit breakers dominate the global market and are expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the factors associated with the increasing use of high voltage circuits in the outdoor switchyard for 220 kV lines. Airblast circuit breakers use high-pressure air as a medium of arc quenching. They are automatically operated electrical switches that use air to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from short circuits. Its primary function is to interrupt current flow when the fault is detected.

Based on the application, the market is segmented into coal-fired power plants, natural gas power plants, nuclear power plants, and others. The coal-fired power plants segment dominates the global market and is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing use of generator circuit breakers in developing countries for power generation. Coal-fired power plants are a kind of power plant that utilizes the combustion of coal to generate electricity. In recent years, there has been a positive shift of energy generation from conventional resources like coal and nuclear energy for relatively cleaner gas-based power generation. This has positively enhanced the market growth for this segment.

The major market driver for the generator circuit breaker market is the increasing demand for power generation, coupled with rapid industrialization. Growing demand for more power from various industries worldwide is regarded as a market opportunity. In addition, advanced countries are renewing their power grid construction and transmission lines, which positively boosts the market growth.

The factor that is expected to inhibit the growth of the market is the safety aspects that are stringently regulated by organizations such as OSHA and NIOSH. SF6, which is used in circuit breakers, is hazardous and adversely affects the human body and environment, which in turn hampers the market growth. In addition, the substitute power generation projects using renewable resources such as wind, solar & photovoltaic cells are the factors further hinder the market growth.

Key Industry Developments



  • In September 2020, Reliance Power in a joint venture with JERA, is developing a 745MW liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fired combined-cycle power plant in Bangladesh. The plant will have a net output of 718MW and will produce sufficient electricity to meet the demands of more than 850,000 homes in Bangladesh. In the gas turbine, the generator circuit breaker will connect the generator to a 400kV gas-insulated substation.

  • In March 2021, Salt Lake Potash has started commissioning of Australia’s first sulphate of potash (SOP) processing plant at Wiluna in Western Australia. The company awarded contracts to GE for engineering, procurement and construction of the plant. The project will use two-megawatt diesel generators to power the front-end plant commissioning.
