Results for tag: "Gas Insulated Substation"

Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) is a type of electrical substation that uses pressurized sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas as an insulating medium. GIS is used in high-voltage applications, typically ranging from 72.5 kV to 1200 kV. It is a compact and cost-effective alternative to traditional air-insulated substations, as it requires less space and is more reliable. GIS also offers superior safety, as it eliminates the risk of electric shock due to its insulation properties. GIS is widely used in the power industry, as it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is also used in the telecommunications industry, as it is capable of providing reliable power supply for communication networks. GIS is also used in the oil and gas industry, as it is capable of providing reliable power supply for oil and gas pipelines. Some of the major companies in the GIS market include ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and General Electric. These companies offer a wide range of GIS products and services, including design, engineering, installation, and maintenance. Show Less Read more
