72.5 - 145 KV Gas-Insulated Substations: Proven Design Concept
72.5 145 kV Gas-insulated Substations The increasing demand for electrical power in cities and industrial centres requires the installation of a compact and efcient distribution and transmission network. High voltage gas-insulated substations (GIS) are ideal for such applications.
The B65 GIS is single-phase, SF6 gasinsulated, high voltage metal enclosed switchgear, which is continuously being upgraded to the state-of-the-art. Alstom Grid has been actively involved in SF6 technology for several decades and our GIS have been in operation worldwide since 1965 with proven success. Excellent eld experience conrms the soundness of our technical concepts.

Gas-insulated switchgear
Highly experienced
Alstom Grid has many years of experience in the design of gas-insulated, high voltage switchgear rated up to 800 kV. The buildings that house the switchgear can be very simple: the static and dynamic oor loads, for example, are low and a level oor is sufcient for erection. Thanks to the exibility of the concept and the small number of single-phase modules, any substation layout can be easily designed. In case of restricted access to and within existing buildings, the switchgear is shipped as single or 3-phase components and assembled with little extra effort and cost. The compact B65 modular system also generally allows the extension of earlier generation SF6 switchgear.
The long life of the switchgear and the extended maintenance intervals result in low lifecycle costs and high availability. The latest generation of mechanical circuit breaker operating mechanisms, with trip and reclose energy storage in compression springs, ensure constant circuit breaker readiness.

Accessible circuit breakers
The latest developments in self-blast technology are engineered into these modern circuit breakers. This keeps switching energy levels low and allows the optimised integration of spring-operated mechanisms. The customer benets are high availability, reduced maintenance and low dynamic oor loads. A new generation of spring-operated mechanism operates the circuit breaker. Together with the breaker, it constitutes a unit and operates the three poles via a linkage. The energy required for an OPEN/CLOSE/OPEN cycle is stored permanently and free of losses by two built-in compression springs. The recuperation of the surplus closing energy and the dashpot integrated in the mechanism result in low shock switching operations. This generation of operating mechanisms is characterised by a fast rewind action and high reproducibility of switching times. The circuit breakers and operating mechanisms are easily accessible from the operator aisle for inspection, servicing and manual emergency activation in the event of an auxiliary power loss. The interrupters can slide into the operator aisle when maintenance work is required.
Reliable disconnectors
Disconnector modules with push-pull contacts are accommodated in standard enclosures. The three poles are mechanically linked and connected with the position indicators and the common motor drive mounted on one of the poles. They reliably switch capacitive currents, which occur when switchgear sections are energised or de-energised, as well as commutation currents caused by busbar transfers. The disconnector drives are motors with gear units and mechanically coupled auxiliary switches for control and signalling purposes. They are also equipped as standard for manual emergency operation and mechanical locking. The disconnectors have viewing windows for status and switching-position verication.

Interconnecting components
The individual SF6 system components are assembled directly, or with the aid of connection modules. All elements have standardised anges and symmetrical gasket grooves for the installation of the proven 3-way seals. Telescoping coupling elements with sliding sleeve joints on the conductors allow the removal and installation of components for assembly, extension and maintenance work, without dismantling further switchgear parts. Expansion bellows are provided to equalise thermal expansion movements and positioning tolerances.
In many cases, plug-in cable terminations make it possible to install and test cables without opening the feeder gas compartment of the switchgear. For condition monitoring purposes, Alstom Grid provides densimeters, optical arc monitors, electronic transducers and partial discharge measuring sensors. In conjunction with suitable electronic control monitoring and evaluation systems, these components allow the periodic or permanent supervision of key GIS parameters.
