Product type
Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) is a compact and efficient electrical switchgear that utilizes gas insulation to operate at high voltages. It is typically made from a combination of metal enclosures, insulating gas such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and various electrical components like circuit breakers and disconnectors. GIS systems are designed to provide reliable performance in limited spaces, making them ideal for urban substations and industrial applications.
| Insulation medium | Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) |
| Operating voltage | Up to 800 kV |
| Configuration | Single busbar or double busbar |
| Temperature range | -40┬░C to +50┬░C |
| Standards compliance | IEC 62271 |
| Maintenance interval | 5 to 10 years |
When selecting Gas Insulated Switchgear, consider the operating voltage and the specific configuration that suits your installation space. It's important to specify the required insulation medium, as well as any environmental conditions that may affect performance. Buyers should also inquire about maintenance requirements and certifications to ensure compliance with industry standards. Quantities should be determined based on project scale and future expansion plans.
