    摘要: Apparatus to provide arc flash protection regarding a wind turbine. In one embodiment, a wind turbine (10) includes a wind turbine generator (12) to generate an alternating current power. A transformer (14) has a high-voltage side (16) coupled to a load. A circuit breaker (18) is adapted to selectively reduce arc flash energy available to the wind turbine. The circuit breaker may be arranged to provide circuit interruption between the generator and a low-voltage side (20) of the transformer upon detection of a fault condition. The circuit breaker includes an arc flash protection mode (24) and a normal protection mode (22). In response to a sensed condition, a respective one of the modes may be automatically set so that the circuit breaker can perform the circuit interruption in accordance with the protection functionality of the set mode.
