Impact of using a GCB
Station transformer and HV-switchbay can be omitted
Aux. supply can be drawn directly from unit transformer
Automatic change - over equipment is not required
Division of responsibility clearly defined
Lower installation costs

Impact of using a GCB in power layout
Fewer switching operations (lower likelihood of switching errors)
Rapid interruption of generator-source short circuit current
Rapid disconnection of generator in case of short timeunbalanced load
Higher availability of the power plant
Lower support costs
