Sulphur hexafluoride SF6

The properties
 Inert, non-toxic
 Electro-negative (electron-capturing)
 Six times heavier than air
 Global Warming
SF6 as Quenching Medium

 Ionization temperature of SF6 is lower than

air
 In SF6 the radial temperature gradient in the
arc is very steep
 Excellent arc quenching property
 Low arc diameter
 Low arc temperature
 Only very small gas blast needed

Radial temperature profile in electric

arcs
SF6 as Insulating Medium

 Pressurized at 300 kPa (3 bar) SF6

insulates better than oil
 Pressurized at 400 kPa (4 bar) SF6
insulates 6 times better than air at
normal pressure
 In SF6 the GIS field configurations are
homogenous

Ball-plate-arrangement, 50 Hz ac
12.5 mm ball, 12.5 mm distance
HV - GIS: The compact substation solution

Advantages:

 Reduced Space
 System planning with high flexibility
 Best for novel, creative solutions
 More sites available
 Power distribution on HV level
 Reduced transmission losses
 Fully metal-enclosed, safe
 Prefabricated, factory-tested units
 Fast installation

ELK-14 CB Operating Mechanism - HMB4
ELK-14 CB Operating Mechanism - HMB4

Advantages of HMB-4

 Long service life and high reliability

 Less maintenance and minimum wear
 Easy checking and inspection
 Low noise level
 No external piping, reduced chances of oil leak
 Extremely compact design
 Flexibility of use
CB Mechanism HMB

 In comparison with spiral springs:

 Disk springs have much higher mechanical
strength
 Higher energy storage density Force
Characteristic of
 No ageing of mechanical characteristics during
service spiral spring
 Flat F-S characteristic, more suitable for Characteristic of

Overhaul

Overhaul is based on health condition of

GIS
 CB: Short circuit current(50KA) 10 times
or normal operation more than 5000 times
 Inner fault flashover abnormal voice
 Gas leakage that can not be solved
unless disassembly;
 Other reasons
Finding and dealing with usual problems

1. Low SF6 pressure

Low SF6 pressure alarm/density monitor
 Report to ABB and fill SF6;
 Seek for leakage position
 Solved by ABB

2. Loss of hydraulic oil inside CB drive

Oil level indicator (glass window).
 Report to ABB
 Seek for leakage position
 Solved by ABB (if serious, maybe need power off)

3. Others
ABB will provide professional support when you need
and Please contact with ABB as soon as possible
