INTRODUCTION
THE first generation of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS)
that Hitachi developed was 550 kV. Developed in 1978,
this GIS used 4-break circuit breakers and all of its
phases were of the separated-phase type. Later, circuit
breakers were changed to the 2-break type.
In 1989, the LIWV (lightning impulse withstand
voltage) was lowered by using a high-performance
metal oxide surge arrester, which lowers residual
voltage. As a result, a large-radius, 3-phase common

Fig. 4The Displacement of the Bellows Type Expansion and the Analysis Result for
Long GIB During a Current-carrying Test at the Site.
We confirmed that bellows displacement depended on tank temperature. The displacement that we
obtained by analyzing measurements of temperature agreed well with the displacement measurements.
