GV series is designed to maximize safety in installation, operation and maintenance. It complies with the latest
IEC standards and fitted with all mandatory interlocks as recommended by the international standards.

VCB/DISCONNECTOR INTERLOCK PROOF OF EARTH*

• Disconnector can be operated only when VCB is in • Key can’t be removed in any position other than
“OFF” condition. when cables have been connected to “EARTH”.
• VCB can’t be operated, either mechanically or • Allows operation of Disconnector from “EARTH”
electrically, when Disconnector is accessed. to “OFF” only when key is trapped.

PERMISSIVE INTERLOCK*
CABLE ACCESS*
• Allows the operation of Disconnector to “EARTH”
only when key is trapped. • The opening of cable access cover is not possible
unless the cable have been connected to “EARTH”.
• The key can’t be removed when Disconnector is in
“EARTH” position. • Disconnector operation is not possible if the cable
access cover is “OPEN”

POINT OF ISOLATION*

• Restricts the Disconnector to be moved to “ON”

position if the POI is established (i.e. closed).

* Optional features available upon customer request

DESIGN - Busbar Compartment in SF6 Gas

COMMON BUSBAR COMPARTMENT BUSBAR COMPARTMENT SEGREGATION WITH

GV series of GIS switchgears are available with
busbar in SF 6 gas. SF 6 gas needs to be filled at site
for busbar compartment.
PLUGIN BUSHING
GV series of GIS switchgears also comes with plugin-type busbar
bushings where SF 6 in busbar compartment is pre-filled at factory.
This ensures no SF 6 gas handling at site.
