About the GE FK Oil Circuit Breaker
The General Electric FK is an oil circuit breaker used in distribution and subtransmission substations for fault interruption and load switching. It uses a finger-cluster contact design with arcing blocks to confine and extinguish the arc in oil. Contact rod wear, arcing block erosion, and baffle degradation are the failure modes that require parts replacement. Worn arcing blocks allow the arc to extend beyond the interrupter assembly into the main oil tank, increasing the risk of tank damage and dielectric failure.
Why replace worn OCB contacts
Pitted or eroded oil-circuit-breaker contacts increase resistance and weaken interruption. Precision replacements restore dependable making and breaking under load.
