  • Ground & Test Devices

    Ground and Test Devices are used to ground the upper or lower stabs in a circuit breaker cell. This process grounds all three phases and is normally used during initial installation and during normal maintenance procedures. When inserted in a circuit breaker cell and closed it solidly grounds the equipment for safety or other tests on connected cables. G&T Devices are available either as a manually operated or electrically operated device. The electrically operated version allows the operator to be removed from close proximity of the switchgear when grounding occurs and is the safest approach.
