Large Generator Circuit Breakers are like no others. With ratings to match generators of 1000MW or more, they are massive devices with continuous current ratings in excess of 25,000A at voltages of the order of 24 - 36kV. Currents of this magnitude would be considered to be fault currents in any other environment.
