This metalclad SF6 Gas Insulated Switchgear, GV3 with all its devices housed within a compact cubicle and gas sealed is a type tested indoor cubicle for rated voltages up to 36kV.

What is Mitsubishi Electric GIS?

Mitsubishi Electric has a unique design of switchgear; compact size, lifetime performance, a continually decreasing use of SF6 gas, a proprietary leak free enclosure, and renown customer support & warranty. Mitsubishi Electric GIS represents switchgear ranging from 72.5 kV to 800 kV and from single phase to three phase designs.

What is Siemens Energy DC GIS?

Siemens Energy DC GIS are based on Siemens Energy’s proven 8DQ1 switchgear technology. The encapsulated, compact, and modular gas-insulated switchgear for DC voltages of up to ±550 kV and currents of up to 5 kA reduce space requirements for HVDC switchyards considerably, boast outstanding climatic resistance.

Are Siemens Energy DC GIS suitable for offshore applications?

Siemens Energy DC GIS are suitable for today’s most demanding offshore applications. Type-tested according to applicable IEC standards and CIGRÉ recommendations, gas-insulated switchgears for DC are available for rated voltages of up to ±550 kV.

Where should a GIS control cable be grounded?

For this reason, in a GIS the control cable shield should be grounded at both the equipment and the LCC ends using either coaxial ground bushings or short connections to the cabinet walls at the location where the control cable first enters the cabinet. The LCC has a mimic diagram of the part of the GIS being controlled.

How does Siemens Energy DC GIS reduce the size of an offshore HVDC converter?

The use of Siemens Energy DC GIS reduces the size of an offshore HVDC converter platform by up to 10 percent, because space requirements for the switchgear itself are reduced by up to 95 %: While comparable air-insulated switchgear in standard configuration would require 4,000 cubic meters, Siemens Energy DC GIS require only 200 cubic meters.
