Default What is this?

That goofy looking guy is me. This piece of equipment has made me a lot of money over the last 12 years. Any guess what that is? You have a whole bunch of them at your house.

It is a verticle lift GE Circuit Breaker. 6900 VAC 1200AMp. This breaker weighs in at around 1500lbs. We have some bigger ones out there. We have taken the barriers off the back and what you see, white and black, are the arc chutes. The biggest we have that is inside the plant is 6900V and 3000 amp. The disconnects are as high as I am tall and weigh about 3200lbs. We get to push these mothers around too.

Good guesses. Some of you must work in power houses.
