Gas sections
The GIS enclosures shall be divided into several gas sections separated by
gas-tight barriers. Each section shall be provided with necessary valves to
allow evacuation and refill of gas without evacuation of any other section.
Location of gas barrier insulators is to be clearly discriminated outside the
enclosure by a band of distinct colour normally used for safety purposes.
The gas system proposed shall be shown on a gas single line diagram and
submitted with the technical bid and in the event of an order for approval. It
should include the necessary valves, connections, density monitors, gas
monitor system and controls, indication, orifices, and isolation to prevent
current circulation. Means of calibrating density monitors without deenergizing the equipment should be specified by the supplier.
For the purpose of gas monitoring and maintenance, the GIS shall be divided
into various individual zones in each bay. The CB gas zone shall be
independent from all other gas compartments and shall meet the requirement
of relevant IEC.
Each gas zone shall be furnished with a gas monitoring system consisting of
a gas density continuous monitoring device provided with two electrically
independent contacts which operate in two stages as follows:
a) First alarm
b) Second alarm
Page 39 of 63
Means shall be provided inside each enclosure for treating the SF6 gas by the
use of Desiccants, driers, filter, etc. to remove impurities in the gas.
All gas compartments shall be fitted with static filter material containers that will
absorb residual and entering moisture inside the high voltage enclosures.
Filters inside the breaker compartment shall also be capable of absorbing gas
decomposition products resulting from the switching arc.

grading elements of silicone rubber.
For transformer end connection the cable termination on structure shall be provided
outdoor, if specified in schedule of requirements.
When the SF6 to the bushing of an oil-insulated transformer / reactor is connected,
the transformer/reactor bushing must be oil-tight, gas-tight and pressure
resistant. Any temperature related movement and irregular setting of the
switchgears or transformers /reactors foundations are absorbed by the expansion
fittings.
