SF₆ Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS)
SF₆ Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS)

 Scope of Application:SF₆ gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is designed for 3.6kV to 800kV AC power systems, covering medium voltage (MV), high voltage (HV), and extra-high voltage (EHV) applications. It is particularly suited for space-constrained installations and mission-critical environments (e.g., urban grids, rail transit, offshore wind farms, industrial plants, and extreme climates), complying with IEC 62271-200/203.

Voltage Levels (per IEC 60038):
Medium Voltage (MV): 3.6kV, 7.2kV,11KV, 12kV, 24kV, 36kV
High Voltage (HV): 72.5kV, 145kV, 245kV
Extra-High Voltage (EHV): 362kV, 420kV, 550kV, 800kV
Rated Current: 400A–6,300A (up to 8,000A for HV/EHV)
Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity: 16kA–80kA (1s thermal withstand)
Insulation Medium: SF₆ gas (rated filling pressure: 0.4–0.7MPa at 20°C)

Product Introduction Technical Parameter Size

1.Product Overview
          SF₆ gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) integrates circuit breakers (CB), disconnectors (DS), earthing switches (ES), current/voltage transformers (CT/VT), and busbars within SF₆-filled metal enclosures. Compliant with IEC 62271 series, its compact design leverages SF₆’s high dielectric strength (≈3× air) and superior arc-quenching capability (arcing time <15ms).

Key advantages:
          Environmental Resilience: IP67-rated for operation at -30°C to +40°C, ≤95% humidity, or altitudes up to 4,000m.
          Safety: Segregated gas compartments (individual gas zones per bay), leakage rate <0.5%/year (IEC 62271-303).
          Smart Grid Integration: Supports IEC 61850-9-2LE for digital substation interoperability.
          Eco-Friendly Options: SF₆/N₂ mixtures or alternative gases (e.g., C₅-PFK) to reduce GWP.

2.Primary Functions
          Circuit breaking/closing operations (per IEC 62271-100)
          Short-circuit current interruption & load switching
          Isolation and earthing (per IEC 62271-102/103)
          Condition monitoring (partial discharge, gas density, mechanical characteristics)

3.Product Functions
Electrical Performance
          Circuit Breaker: Puffer-type or self-blast interrupter, breaking time ≤3 cycles (60ms).
          Isolation/Earthing: Three-position switch (DS+ES) with mechanical interlocks (IEC 62271-102).
          Measurement/Protection: Rogowski coils (CT) or capacitive dividers (VT), accuracy class 0.2 (IEC 60044).

Smart Monitoring
          Gas Management: Density relays (alarm: 0.45MPa, lockout: 0.4MPa) + moisture monitoring (≤200ppm).
          Mechanical Diagnostics: Travel sensors for contact speed (±10% tolerance) and wear prediction.
          Partial Discharge Detection: UHF sensors (300MHz–1.5GHz) or TEV sensors (3MHz–100MHz).

4. Technical Parameters

5.Key Features
Technical Superiority
          Compact Footprint: Occupies 10%–30% space of AIS (e.g., 25㎡ vs. 100㎡ for 145kV).
          Maintenance-Free: Sealed design, maintenance interval ≥15 years (IEC 62271-301).
          Rapid Deployment: Modular pre-assembly reduces on-site installation time by 60%.

Safety & Sustainability
          Non-Flammable: Eliminates fire hazards (vs. oil-filled equipment).
          Low Noise: Operation noise <75dB (AIS typically >90dB).
          Eco-Compliance: Integrated SF₆ recovery unit (per IEC 60480).

Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS)
Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) for High-Altitude Applications
For Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), since the main live circuits are enclosed within sealed, gas-filled compartments and external connections utilize solid insulation, the insulation performance is unaffected by atmospheric pressure. The primary consideration for GIS at high altitudes is the mechanical strength of the gas enclosure (gas compartment).
