Introduction
With ever increasing the power demand now we are gone the step up voltage
of 800kV and above level in AC system 500kV and above in DC system same kind we
are committed to ensure the land demand. Due to this system and requirements we are
shifted to the Gas Insulated Substation.

configuration of molecules is very near and the number of molecules are much higher
than in gas insulation medium. This means that liquid is much denser than gas and leave
a little space for electron to move.
The concept is as same as when you are speeding on a highway like a Mat Rempit. If
there are a lot of cars on the highway, you cannot ride your motorcycle very fast. But if
there are only two or three cars on the highway, then you can speed like the highway is
owned by your father. A word of advice, please ride and drive carefully.

The current transformer is designed as a low voltage
transformer. The available transformation ratios, apparent output
power, accuracy classes, etc. of the transformers correspond to the
normal requirements of modern protection and measurement
technology. Current transformers are of toroidal core type. Depending
on the protection concept they can be arranged in front of or behind
the circuit breaker’s interrupting unit. Usually current transformers are
integrated into the flanges of the circuit breaker enclosure. Depending
on the apparent output power different separate enclosures with large
and small flange connections are available as well.

The voltage transformer contains side by side windings. The
layers loaded with high voltage are insulated from each other by a
plastic film. The intermediate spaces are impregnated in a special
process with SF6-gas.

Realization of gas insulated transformer
Since heat capacity of SF6 gas is much smaller than that of insulating oil, the following
measures are taken into account.
1. Raise the SF6 gas pressure to 0.5MPa
2. Produce as large flow as possible by optimizing the layout of gas ducts in the windings
3. Develop high capacity gas blower with high reliability
4. Apply highly thermal-resistant insulating materials to raise the limit of winding
temperature rises
1. Non-flammability
Gas insulated transformers, using incombustible SF6 gas as a insulation and cooling
medium, enable to remove a fire fighting equipment from transformer room.
2. Tank-explosion Prevention
Pressure tank enables to withstand the pressure rise in case of internal fault.
3. Compactness
By directly coupling with gas-insulated switchgear, substation space can be minimized as
the result of compact facilities.

4. Easy installation
Oil or liquid purifying process is not necessary in case of gas insulated transformer.
6. Environmentally Friendly
The use of SF6 gas abolishes the risk of oil leakage.

decoupling of the charging mechanism. The operating mechanism
offers the following advantages:
Defined switching position which is securely maintained even if
the auxiliary power supply fails
Tripping is possible irrespective of the status of the closing
spring
High number of mechanical operations Low number of
mechanical parts Compact design.
Interrupter unit
During the breaking operation, the main contact (3) opens first
and the current commutates on the arcing contact (4), which is still
closed. This avoids erosion of the main contact. As the breaking opera

tion progresses, an arc develops between the contacts (4).
Simultaneously, the contact cylinder (5) moves into the base (6) and
compresses the remaining arc-quenching gas. The compressed arc
quenching gas flows through the contact cylinder (5) into the contact
gap and extinguishes the arc.

High-speed Earthing switch
The high-speed Earthing switch used is of the so-called “pin-
type”. In this type of switch, the Earthing pin at earth potential is
pushed into the tulip-shaped fixed contact. The earthing switch is
equipped with a spring-operated mechanism, charged by an electric
motor.

switching devices. The switching device control systems are factory-
tested and the Switchgear is usually supplied with bay-internal cabling
all the way to the integrated local control cubicle. This minimizes the
time required for commissioning and reduces the possibilities of error.
By default, the control and monitoring system is implemented with
electromechanical components. Alter natively, digital intelligent control
and protection systems including comprehensive diagnostics and
monitoring functions are available. More detailed information on
condition of the substation state permits condition-based maintenance.
This consequently reduces life cycle costs even further
