How does gauge bundle breaking occur in Yang-Mills theory with SU(5)?

Hello,
suppose you start with Yang Mills theory with some gauge group G, for example SU(5). Then you turn on a gauge bundle, say a U(1) bundle, and the group breaks down. I know that from hearsay but I wonder how would you describe that explicitly in formulas?

what du you mean by "turn on a gauge bundle"? you already have a SU(5) bundle, so whyt should U(1) be? U(1)*SU(5)?
