ABSTRACT

A gas-insulated substation (GIS) uses a superior dielectric gas, SF6, at moderate pressure for
phase-to phase and phase-to-ground insulation. The high voltage conductors, circuit breaker
interrupters, switches, current transformers, and voltage transformers are in SF6gas inside
grounded metal enclosures. The atmospheric air insulation used in a conventional, air-
insulated substation (AIS) requires meters of air insulation to do what SF6 can do in
centimeters. GIS can therefore be smaller than AIS by up to a factor of 10. A GIS is mostly
used where space is expensive or not available. In a GIS the active parts are protected from
the deterioration from exposure to atmospheric air, moisture, contamination, etc. As a result,
GIS is more reliable and requires less maintenance than AIS. GIS was first developed in
various countries between 1968 and 1972. After about 5 years of experience, the use rate
increased to about 20% of new substations in countries where space is limited. In other
countries with space easily available, the higher cost of GIS relative to AIS has limited use
to special cases.
