GIS (gas insulated system) are special installations that terrifically curb the operational cost but the GIS includes places where electricity is controlled. They have a gas called sulfur hexafluoride which keeps the electrical parts safe. They have many advantages over ordinary ones, such as safer, better performance, smaller footprint, etc.
One major advantage of GIS is their reduced size. Because they use gas rather than air for insulation, GIS substations can fit into compressive spaces — like cities where roads and buildings leave little room to work. That allows EUNVIN to place GIS substations where a conventional substation could not be utilized.
In addition to being small, GIS substations are more reliable than conventional ones. It is the gas insulation that prevents the electrical parts from water and dirt to avoid failure and power outage.
GIS stands for gas-insulated switchgear, where the process occurs in a compact enclosure filled with an important technology – sulfur hexafluoride gas for insulation. This gas is harmless, it is not a flame and it would not work and reaction with other things, Therefore, this gas is beneficial for protecting from electrical content. Gas is stored in heavy metal containers capable of enduring high voltages and severe heats.
Regular GIS substation require much lesser footprint and renovate area than regular substation↩️ Because they are more trustworthy and function better, they assist energy conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the sulfur hexafluoride gas is envionmentally safe, unlike some other kinds of insulation.
The safety while designing and installing the GIS substations is a top priority for EUNVIN. The gas is kept in strong metal containers, one of the main safety features of the process. Vessels that are designed to withstand high temperature and high pressures so that the gas can be contained & will not leak out into the environment.
If we compare GIS substations with conventional substations, it is evident that there are plenty of advantages of GIS. They’re smaller, more dependable and more environmentally friendly. EUNVIN is proud to offer GIS substations, a cutting-edge solution for delivering power to communities around the world.
