Siemens has beena leader in this sector from the very start.The concept of SF6 - insulated metal-enclosed high-voltage switchgear has proveditself in more than 70,000 bay operatingyears in over 6,000 installations in all partsof the world. It offers the following outstanding advantages.Protection of the environmentThe necessity to protect the environmentoften makes it difficult to erect outdoorswitchgear of conventional design, whereas buildings containing compact SF6-insulated switchgear can almost always bedesigned so that they blend well with thesurroundings.SF6-insulated metal-enclosed switchgearis, due to the modular system, very flexibleand can meet all requirements of configuration given by network design and operating conditions.Each circuit-breaker bay includes the fullcomplement of disconnecting and grounding switches (regular or make-proof),instrument transformers, control and protection equipment, interlocking and monitoring facilities commonly used for thistype of installation (Fig. 39).Beside the conventional circuit-breakerbay, other arrangements can be suppliedsuch as single-bus, ring cable with load-breakswitches and circuit-breakers, single-busarrangement with bypass-bus, coupler andbay for triplicate bus. Combined circuitbreaker and load-break switch feeder, ringcable with load-break switches, etc. arefurthermore available for the 145 kV level.Minimal space requirements456The availability and price of land play animportant part in selecting the type ofswitchgear to be used. Siting problemsarise in Large towns Industrial conurbations Mountainous regions with narrowvalleys Underground power stationsIn cases such as these, SF6-insulatedswitchgear is replacing conventionalswitchgear because of its very small spacerequirements.Full protectionagainst contact with live parts7The all-round metal enclosure affordsmaximum safety for personnel underall operating and fault conditions.Protection against pollution8910Its metal enclosure fully protects theswitchgear interior against environmentaleffects such as salt deposits in coastalregions, industrial vapors and precipitates,as well as sandstorms. The compactswitchgear can be installed in buildingsof uncomplicated design in order to minimize the cost of cleaning and inspectionand to make necessary repairs independent of weather conditions.Free choice of installation siteThe small site area required for SF6-insulated switchgear saves expensive gradingand foundation work, e.g. in permafrostzones. Other advantages are the shorterection times and the fact that switchgearinstalled indoors can be serviced regardless of the climate or the weather.Fig. 39: Typical circuit arrangements of SF6-switchgear2/28Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition

Gas-Insulated Switchgear for Substations12345678910SF6-insulated switchgearup to 145 kV, type 8DN8Three-phase enclosures are used for type8DN8 switchgear in order to achieve extremely low component dimensions. Thelow bay weight ensures minimal floorloading and eliminates the need for complexfoundations. Its compact dimensions andlow weight enable it to be installed almostanywhere. This means that capital costs canbe reduced by using smaller buildings, orby making use of existing ones, for instancewhen medium voltage switchgearis replaced by 145 kV GIS.The bay ist based on a circuit-breakermounted on a supporting frame (Fig. 41).A special multifunctional cross-couplingmodule combines the functions of the disconnector and earthing switch in a threeposition switching device. It can be used as an active busbar with integrated disconnector and work-in-progress earthingswitch (Fig. 41/Pos. 3 and 4), outgoing feeder module with integrateddisconnector and work-in-progress earthing switch (Fig. 41/Pos. 5), busbar sectionalizer with busbar earthing.For cable termination, a cable terminationmodule can be equipped with either conventional sealing ends or the latest plug-inconnectors (Fig. 41/Pos. 9). Flexible singlepole modules are used to connect overheadlines and transformers by using a splittingmodule which links the 3-phase encapsulatedswitchgear to the single pole connections.Thanks to the compact design, up to threecompletely assembled and works-testedbays can be shipped as one transport unit.Fast erection and commissioning on siteensure the highest possible quality.The feeder control and protection can belocated in a bay-integrated local controlcubicle, mounted in the front of each bay(Fig. 42). It goes without saying that wesupply our gas-insulated switchgear with alltypes of currently available bay control systems – ranging from contactor circuit controls to digital processor bus-capable baycontrol systems, for example the modernSICAM HV system based on serial buscommunication. This system offers Online diagnosis and trend analysis enabling early warning, fault recognition andcondition monitoring. Individual parameterization, ensuring thebest possible incorporation of customizedcontrol facilities. Use of modern current and voltage sensors.This results in a longer service life and loweroperating costs, in turn attaining a considerable reduction in life cycle costs.2/3071286Gas-tight bushingGas-permeable bushing1054935 Outgoing feeder module1 Interrupter unit of thecircuit-breaker2 Spring-stored energymechanism with circuit-breakercontrol unit3 Busbar I with disconnectorand earthing system4 Busbar II with disconnectorand earthing system678910with disconnector andearthing switchMake-proof earthing switch(high-speed)Current transformerVoltage transformerCable sealing endIntegrated local control cubicle34175869Fig. 41: Switchgear bay 8DN8 up to 145 kVFig. 42: 8DN8 switchgear for rated voltage 145 kVFig. 43Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition

Gas-Insulated Switchgear for SubstationsSF6-insulated switchgearup to 245 kV, type 8DN9The clear bay configuration of the lightweight and compact 8DN9 switchgear isevident at first sight. Control and monitoringfacilities are easily accessible in spite ofthe compact design of the switchgear.The horizontally arranged circuit-breakerforms the basis of every bay configuration.The operating mechanism is easily accessible from the operator area. The other baymodules – of single-phase encapsulateddesign like the circuit-breaker module – arelocated on top of the circuit-breaker. Thethree-phase encapsulated passive busbaris partitioned off from the active equipment.Thanks to “single-function” assemblies(assignment of just one task to each module)and the versatile modular structure, evenunconventional arrangements can be setup out of a pool of only 20 different modules.The modules are connected to each otherby a standard interface which allows anextensive range of bay structures. Theswitchgear design with standardized modules and the scope of services mean thatall kinds of bay structures can be set up ina minimal area.The compact design permits the supply ofdouble bays fully assembled, tested in thefactory and filled with SF6 gas at reducedpressure, which assures smooth and efficient installation and commissioning.The following major feeder control levelfunctions are performed in the local controlcubicle for each bay, which is integrated inthe operating front of the 8DN9 switchgear: Fully interlocked local operation andstate-indication of all switching devicesmanaged reliably by the Siemens digitalswitchgear interlock system Practical dialog between the digital feeder protection system and central processor of the feeder control system Visual display of all signals required foroperation and monitoring, together withmeasured values for current, voltage andpower Protection of all auxiliary current andvoltage transformer circuits Transmission of all feeder information tothe substation control and protectionsystemFactory assembly and tests are significantparts of the overall production conceptmentioned above.

If necessary, allthe equipment for control and protectionand for the local supply can be accommodated in the container. This allows exten-232453678Mobile containerized switchgear –even for high voltageAt medium-voltage levels, mobile containerized switchgear is the state of the art.But even high-voltage switching stationscan be built in this way and economicallyoperated in many applications.The heart is the metal-enclosed SF6-insulated switchgear, installed either in asheet-steel container or in a block housemade of prefabricated concrete elements.In contrast to conventional stationaryswitchgear, there is no need for complicated constructions; mobile switching stations have their own ”building“.119410115Fig. 48: Containerized 8DN9 switchgear with stub feed in this examplesively independent operation of the installation on site. Containerized switchgear ispreassembled in the factory and ready foroperation. On site, it is merely necessaryto set up the containers, fit the exteriorsystem parts and make the external connections. Shifting the switchgear assemblywork to the factory enhances the qualityand operational reliability. Mobile containerized switchgear requires little space andusually fits in well with the environment.Rapid availability and short commissioningtimes are additional, significant advantagesfor the operators. Considerable cost reductions are achieved in the planning, construction work and assembly.Building authority approvals are either notrequired or only in a simple form. The installation can be operated at various locations in succession, and adaptation to localcircumstances is not a problem. These arethe possible applications for containerizedstations: Intermediate solutions for themodernization of switching stations Low-cost transitional solutions whentedious formalities are involved in thenew construction of transformer substations, such as in the procurement ofland or establishing cable routes Quick erection as an emergency stationin the event of malfunctions in existingswitchgear Switching stations for movable, geothermal power plantsSiemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th EditionGIS up to 245 kV in a standard containerThe dimensions of the 8DN9 switchgearmade it possible to accommodate all activecomponents of the switchgear (circuitbreaker, disconnector, grounding switch)and the local control cabinet in a standardcontainer.The floor area of 20 ft x 8 ft complieswith the ISO 668 standard. Although thecontainer is higher than the standarddimension of 8 ft, this will not cause anyproblems during transportation as provenby previously supplied equipment.German Lloyd, an approval authority, hasalready issued a test certificate for an evenhigher container construction.The standard dimensions and ISO cornerfittings will facilitate handling during transport in the 20 ft frame of a container shipand on a low-loader truck.Operating staff can enter the containerthrough two access doors.Rent a GISContainerized gas-insulated high voltagesubstations for hire are now available.
