3.4 Notes on Heaters in Drives and Control Cubicle

The operating mechanisms of circuit breakers, disconnector and earthing switches and
the control cubicle are equipped with electric heaters. These heaters serve to prevent
condensation in this equipment.
Condensation can result in corrosion and humidity damage.
The heaters, therefore, must be put into service during the assembly of the installation
and may not be switched off during interruptions of operation.
If during maintenance and overhaul work − as an exception − an interruption of the heat
ers is inevitable, it must be limited to the part of the installation concerned and kept as
short as possible.

Description of Installation
4 Description of installation
4.1 Metalenclosed Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS)

The metalenclosed SF6gas insulated switchgear ELK14 is designed for the specific
rated data of the installation, which are given in document Project Specific Data". All
switchgears of the GIS type ELK14 comply with the IECstandards and VDEregulations.
4.1.1 Advantages of the GIS technology

Metalenclosed SF6gas insulated substations (GIS) cover approximately only 5 % of the
space needed of comparable conventional airinsulated substations (AIS). For this rea
son, they are of special interest in congested and industrialized areas where they provide
great economics. GIS is characterised by its:
− High operational safety
− High reliability
− Long lifetime
− Maintenancefree design
− Small dimensions
− Low weight
− Modular design
− Short installation times
− Enclosure of all life parts
4.1.2 General structure of a GIS

The interconnection of the individual GIS modules is designed to facilitate future expan
sions and/or changes. Gastight barrier insulators between adjacent gas compartments
limit the impact of an internal fault in one GIS module onto its neighbours to an absolute
minimum.
The enclosure of the GIS is made of noncorrosive aluminium. Due to the light specific
weight of aluminium, costly foundations are no longer required.
The GIS type ELK14 consists of a number of different modules. These individual mod
ules are interconnected by means of bolted flange connections.
Template: Des_GIS_1HC0045263_AAen 16
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
4.2 General structure of the components

GIS can be arranged in many different busbar layouts and they can be fit to nearly any
given physical layout of the substation and it’s surroundings. The end" of a GIS can be
chosen to fit to transformers, overhead lines, cables or other GIS.
Despite this large geometrical variability, the GIS is built on a small number of generic
components. The variable arrangement of these components leads to the variability of
the overall GIS. The generic components are described in the following section.
4.3 Short description of the components

The following short description of the components is generic and therefore could
Information contain components, which are not supplied.
4.3.1 Busbar
The busbars distribute the current within the switchgear. A busbar system is composed
of the individual busbar segments of each feeder. All busbars feature a threephase en
closure throughout the substation.
The GIS Type ELK14 covers mainly single busbar or double busbar.
The busbar conductors of each feeder are mounted on the gastight barrier insulators
that separate the individual feeders. The busbar modules have a telescopic transversal
installation module for easier extensions. A springloaded lateral disconnecting element
in the busbars is used for compensating any pressurerelated forces and changes in
length induced by temperature gradients in long busbars.
The busbar conductors are interconnected by means of contact plugs in any standard
connecting piece. Length variations due to temperature gradients, e. g. between the en
closure and the individual conductors, are compensated in the plugs and will not cause
any mechanical stress on the insulators.
4.3.2 Circuit breaker

The circuit breaker operates as a single pressure puffer breaker with one interrupting
chamber for each pole. The main and the arcing contacts in the interrupting chamber
are consequently separated from each other. For short circuit interruption the puffer
breaker utilizes the drive energy together with the arc to generate the arc quenching gas
flow. The puffer breaking principle is well established and applied up to highest ratings.
4.3.3 Circuit breaker operating mechanism

All three poles of the circuit breaker are operated individually by a hydraulic spring oper
ating mechanism. This hydraulic spring operating mechanism combines a hydraulic
drive with mechanical energy storage in a set of heavyduty disk springs. The disk
springs are hydraulically charged to store the drive energy. The contacts of the circuit
breaker are switched on respectively off by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic
block features a closed loop for the hydraulic oil. Thus, it has no external hydraulic pip
ing.
4.3.4 Combined disconnector / earthing switch

A combined disconnector/earthing switch is incorporated between a busbar module
and a circuit breaker and at the exit side of a bay. The drive mechanism and the mechani
cal linkage for this disconnector/earthing switch is mounted directly on the GIS enclo
sure. The drive works simultaneously on the three moving contacts via a common link
age a gear and an isolating rod. Depending on the direction of rotation, the contacts
move either into the disconnecting or the earthing or the neutral position. A separate
hand crank allows the manual operation of the combined disconnector/earthing switch.
The earthing switch within the disconnector / earthing switch features an insulated earth
connection as option. The fixed earthing contact is insulated from the enclosure. The
earth connection is accomplished outside be means of a removable copper bar. Thus,
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
it is possible to access the main current path without opening the gas compartment. This
greatly simplifies setting and testing of protection relays, cable testing and locating of
cable faults.
4.3.5 Cable termination

The cable termination allows connection of high voltage power cables with a cross sec
tion of up to 2000 mm2. Also a cable termination of plugandsocket type, graded for the
cable cross sections (< 1000 mm2, 1000 − 2000 mm2) can be provided, that greatly
eases the installation of the cable at site.
4.3.6 Earthing switch with short circuit making capacity

The earthing switch with short circuit making capacity is equipped with a snap spring
drive.
The earthing switch with short circuit making capacity can be isolated from the earthed
GIS enclosure. By removing the external earthing bars between the enclosure of the
earthing switch and the individually isolated contacts, it is possible to access the main
current path without opening the gas compartment. This greatly eases setting and test
ing of protection relays, cable testing and locating of cable faults.
4.3.7 Barrier insulators

The GIS is sectionalized into individual gas compartments by means of gastight barrier
insulators. Therefore, the impact of extensions or internal faults on the overall installation
is reduced to a minimum, and control, supervision and maintenance are greatly eased.
All flange connections are sealed by means of ageresistant Orings. The gastight de
sign of the insulator prevents gas leakage between components.
4.3.8 Support insulators

Support insulators are used to mechanically support the conductors. They are mainly
used for long SF6 busduct connections.
4.3.9 Current and voltage transformers

In the usual line of conventional control and protection equipment the GIS is equipped
with inductive current transformers for measurement and protection purposes. The pri
mary side of the current transformers is insulated with SF6. This design provides an ex
ceptional reliability since the insulating medium SF6 is not subject to aging.
4.3.10 Voltage transformer

In the usual line of conventional control and protection equipment the GIS is equipped
with voltage transformers for measurement and protection purposes. The primary side
of the voltage transformers is insulated with SF6. This design provides an exceptional
reliability since the insulating medium SF6 is not subject to aging.
4.3.11 SF6air bushing

The SF6air bushing allows connection of the enclosed switchgear to overhead lines or
to airoil bushings of power transformers.
The bushings are available with composite housings.
4.3.12 Sectionalization
The GIS contains two different types of gas zones. In the circuit breaker SF6 is used both,
as insulating as well as interrupting medium. In all other gas compartments SF6 serves
for insulation purposes only.
All gas compartments are sectionalized by means of gastight barrier insulators. Each in
dividual gas compartment is equipped with studs for connection of a gas density monitor
and non return gas filling devices. Thus, all maintenance works on the gas compart
ments, such as taking gas samples or regenerating gas, can be performed without any
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
loss of gas. The gas density is supervised by means of temperaturecompensated gas

density monitors.
4.3.13 Local control cabinets

Each feeder bay is equipped with a local control cabinet that comprises all auxiliaries for
control, signalling and interlocking. The devices are connected by means of devicespe
cifically coded multiple connector plugs that can not be interchanged with each other.

5.7 Maintenance
5.7.1 Safety notes

You may only carry out activities listed under Maintenance" when you have read
Warning and understood the notes; in particular the safety notes at the beginning of the op
erating instructions and you fulfil the conditions stated therein. Otherwise, the
manufacturer will decline all responsibility for damage caused by improper han
dling.
5.7.2 Maintenance work

The effort for the maintenance work on installation and components is relatively small.
Occasional checks on routine inspections are, however, recommended. Tab.1 contains
a summary of all necessary maintenance work.
The procedure for maintenance work is described in the respective component operat
ing instructions.
On routine inspections, the personnel must give attention to the following issues:
Caution
S Suspicious noises, odors and other irregularities
S Damage to parts of the installation or buildings
S Changes due to weathering
S Prohibited entry for unauthorized persons
General notes and guidelines of the operator (e.g. reading of diverse meters, etc.).
On detection of irregularities, the responsible person must be informed immediately. The
irregularities found must be eliminated, depending on their importance, immediately or
at the next opportunity. Only on specific events, the manufacturer must be consulted.
5.7.3 Intervals
A list of all necessary maintenance work is shown in Tab.1.
Nonswitching components are largely maintenancefree, however occasional checks
are recommended on the normal rounds.
The procedure for the maintenance work is described in the operating instructions for
the components.

A recommended list of spare parts is given in Tab.3 below. However, a different set of
spare parts or an extract of the recommended list of spare parts may have been agreed
with the manufacturer.
5.7.5 Spare parts for overhaul

The sets of spare parts for switchgear and it’s drives are defined. These sets can be or

5.7.7 Nonswitching components

Nonswitching components are maintenancefree. Occasional checks on routine
rounds are, however, recommended (see Tab.1).
5.7.8 SF6 gas monitoring

Gas filling is carried out according to the operating instructions of the service
Information equipment. Replenishment is also possible during operation of the installation.
Detailed information about the procedures and the safety precautions of replenishment
are to be find in document 1HC0028459 Manual Handling Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6".
The gas density is continuously monitored by density monitors which − on reaching pre
set limits − trigger the corresponding alarms. The limits for gas compartments of circuit
breakers and voltage transformers differ from those of the other components.
5.7.9 Abnormal gas losses

In the case of gas leakages causing the alarm Replenish SF6 gas" between two checks,
gas must be replenished immediately. The reason of the excessive gas loss must be in
vestigated and a repair initiated. See also document 1HC0028459 Manual Handling
Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6".
On triggering of the alarm Isolate", the affected gas compartment must be isolated (de
energized) and the gasleak located and eliminated. See also document 1HC0028459
Manual Handling Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6".
5.7.10 Isolating
Gas alarm stage 1

If the gas loss is below 0.5 % p.a., simple replenishment to nominal filling pressure is
sufficient.
Otherwise, gas must be replenished and a manual isolation carried out when the cause
of the gas loss requires a repair action.
Disconnector and breakers in stage 1 may only be switched when necessary for isolat
ing purposes.
Gas alarm stage 2

On reaching gas alarm stage 2, isolation of the installation is urgent and must be carried
out in the shortest possible time, or the rated density must be restored and held by re
plenishing to nominal filling pressure with gas.
Operating breakers and disconnectors
If gas density has dropped below stage 2, the breaker may no longer be operated be
cause the density may be too low to extinguish the arc.
Disconnectors may also not be operated when the density drop reaches stage 2.
A blocking circuit of the REMOTE control assures this automatically.
Breakers, disconnectors and other components of the installation

After the gas density has dropped below stage 2, the part of the installation affected goes
into the dielectric state in which the test voltages can no longer be guaranteed.
However, the switching voltages to be expected are less than the test voltages, so that
a certain safety margin remains for isolation.
This security remains until the density has dropped too far. Since the density loss rate
depends on the size of the leak, no exact statement can be made on the time available
for safe switching.
For this, isolation must be initiated immediately; otherwise there will be a risk of flashover
in the affected gas compartment.
All operating experience to date has shown that this solution works reliably, provided that
the density drop is not instantaneous.
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
Blocking
In order to assure that dielectric faults do not occur through switching overvoltages in
stage 2, blocking of the circuit breaker switching elements is provided. These are as a
rule all items of switching equipment of a GIS installation.
The condition for blocking is that in the affected gas compartment both, stage 1 and
stage 2 have been triggered.
To complement this action, the reset devices of the breakers also block switching ON
operations.
With blocking a certain reduction of availability of the installation is consciously ac
cepted. Protection of the installation is not interconnected with this measure.
Instantaneous density drop

If this condition occurs through a faulty arc and triggering of rupture disk, then it is dealt
with by the installation protection system.
Triggering of the pressure relief device for other reasons is extremely unlikely.
Reliable pressure reduction valves are specified for the gas filling equipment.
The rupture disks itself is subject to rigorous sample testing and is well protected against
accidental damage.
Conclusions
The extremely low probability of a fault arising either from isolating too late or from an
instantaneous density drop makes manual isolation the best solution.
Through blocking of the REMOTE and LOCAL control on reaching stage 2, additional
security is obtained with a certain loss of availability. The installation can then only be
operated locally.
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
5.8 Overhaul
Safety notes
You may only carry out activities listed under Overhaul" when you have read and
Warning understood the notes; in particular the safety notes at the beginning of the operat
ing instructions and you fulfil the conditions stated therein. Otherwise, the
dling.
Gas compartments
During overhaul work, gas compartments must be opened and entered. For this, the reg
ulations in document 1HC0028459 Manual Handling Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6" have
to be executed. Before reassembling the affected components, the regulations in docu
ment 1HC0028459 Manual Handling Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6" have to be followed.
With improper treatment, reliable operation of the installation is not assured.

Spare parts
The component spare parts are listed in Tab.3Set of spare parts for switchgear and
it’s drives" and Tab.4 Ordering numbers for repair". However, a different set of spare
parts or an extract of the recommended list of spare parts may have been agreed with
the manufacturer.
Tools, jigs and fixtures

Persons who are skilled and familiar with the parts to be overhauled and who received
all relevant trainings may only carry out the overhaul work.
5.8.1 Shutting down and making safe parts of the installation

Voltages can be induced across switchedoff parts of the installation via rope con
Danger ductors, via parallel overhead lines, via reversely fed voltage transformers, etc.
Such voltages are hazardous to persons and can damage the installation. It is
therefore essential to earthen before starting overhaul work and to maintain earth
ing until operational capability is restored.
The gas pressure inside the GIS tensions the tensioning rods of compensators and lat
eral dismantling units.
In no case should the tensioning rods be released while the inside is pressurized.
Warning Otherwise, the inside pressure will cause the components to burst and severe inju
ries or damage to property may occur.
Before starting overhaul work, read the notes for SF6gas handling in document
1HC0028459 Manual Handling Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6".

6.1.2 Circuit Breaker Design

The circuit breaker operates as a single pressure puffer breaker with one interrupting
chamber for each pole. For short circuit interruption the puffer breaker utilizes the drive
energy in combination with the arc energy to generate the arc quenching gas flow. The
puffer breaking principle is well established and applied up to highest ratings.
One interrupting unit is fitted in each of the three singlephase aluminium enclosures.
The breaker is provided with a hydraulic spring operating mechanism type ELKHMB4
for each phase. It is mounted horizontally on a steel bay structure. The circuit breaker
design is based on the wellproven puffer breaker principle and applies latest develop
ments in arc physics and material technology.
The highcurrent connections from the interrupting unit to the flanges are designed as
knife contact (at the drive side) and as plug contact (at the fixed contact side). This allows
the interrupting unit to be pulled out of the tank through the drive side flange without re
moving the connections.

Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
6.1.3 Operating principle of the interrupter unit

The interrupter unit is operated by a drive HMB4.
CLOSING operation
During the closing operation, the circuit breaker operating mechanism causes the oper
ating rod (4) and, as a consequence, the moving parts of the interrupting chamber, such
as the insulating nozzle, the auxiliary nozzle and the puffer cylinder to move in the direc
tion of the fixed contact. Contact is first established through prearcing between the arc
ing contacts, which subsequently enables the main contacts to close at almost zero cur
rent.
OPENING operation
Opening is affected by withdrawing the moving contact in the opposite direction. During
this operation the main contacts are separated prior to the separation of the arcing con
tacts, resulting in the commutation of the current to the arcing contacts.
The energy of the arc and the drive motion cause a pressure increase in the puffer. During
the separation of the arcing contacts a radial gas blast is released through the auxiliary
and insulating nozzles, cooling down the arc and finally extinguishing it at current zero.
The schematic representation in Fig.5 shows the working principle of a single interrupt
ing chamber following the puffing piston principle. View A shows the initial position of
the interrupting chamber in position ON. Contact ring 4 and the contact fingers 2 form
a conducting unit. During an opening operation (View B), the contact ring 4 separates
from the contact fingers 2. The gas volume in the puffing cylinder 7, which is travelling
backwards, is continually reduced through the stationary puffing piston 8 and the pres
sure of the enclosed gas is thereby increased until the arcing finger contacts 6 also sepa
rate from contact pin 1.
As a result of the separation (View C), an electric arc is burning, which creates a further
pressure increase of the gas in the puffer cylinder 7 due to the effect of local heating from
the shortcircuit current. Due to the increased pressure, the compressed gas flows into

Fig.10: Operating mechanism of the combined disconnector/earthing switch

The operating mechanism is normally motoroperated. Manual operation is possible in
emergencies. The rotating movement of the operating mechanism is transmitted
through a threaded spindle (7) and a cam disk (5) via the drive rod (8) onto the moving
contacts (Fig.10).
The combined disconnector/earthing switch has two drive motors(10), one for the dis
connector and one for the earthing switch. For manual emergency operation a hand
crank can be attached to the rod (2) that operates the threaded spindle (7).
The cam disk (5) is located between the threaded spindle (7) and the drive rod (8) of the
contact blades and is actuated by a carrier (9). The cam disk (5) locks the device in the
following end positions:
− Disconnector closed
− Disconnector open / Earthing Switch open (neutral position)
− Earthing Switch closed
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
The cam disk (5) has the following functions (Fig.10):

− Torquefree startup of the operating mechanism
− End position locking
− End positioning
The motor current is interrupted by a limit switch.
When the device is manually operated, the interlocking switch (1) automatically discon
nects the motor circuit.
The auxiliary contacts (4) and the position indicator (3) are linked to the operating
rod(8).
All electrical connections are separated for the disconnector and the earthing switch and
are connected with coded plug connections (6).
6.3.3.1 Manual operation (control voltage present)

With present control voltage the system is supervised.
Danger Without control voltage the interlocking conditions are not controlled. Therefore,
a secure operation isn’t anymore made sure. Because this case of operation can
be dangerous to life or physical condition (i.E. switching shortcircuit), is the op
eration without control voltage allowed only for specially trained personal and can
be carried out only with special tools.
For manual operation all interlocking conditions (6.3.3.2Locking") have to be ful

Information filled. The device has to be unlocked.
In emergencies the disconnector and the earthing switch can be operated locally directly
on the device by means of a handcrank. As soon as the handcrank is inserted, the motor
circuit is automatically interrupted.
For manual operation of the disconnector/earthing switch the front cover has to be re
moved from the operating mechanism (Fig.12). The front cover is secured with 4 screws
M6 (4Nm).

6.4.2 Design of earthing switch with short circuit making capacity

The earthing switch consists of the switching device and a fixed contact, which is
mounted to the unit to be earthed (13).
The earthing switch may be disconnected from the main earthing system for the pur
poses of testing the protective relay and measuring the voltage drop of the main current
path. Therefore, an insulating connection is provided between the contact tubes (14)
and the operating mechanism arranged in the center of the unit (Fig.19).
For proper switch operation, the conductors (12a and 12b) must be correctly mounted
to ensure that the contact tubes (14) are connected to earth through the contact lamina
tion. Adequate control of circuit conditions that may occur when parallel overhead lines
are unearthed is achieved through an appropriate contact system.

6.4.3 Operating Mechanism (Fig.19)

The earthing switch is equipped with a snapaction spring mechanism which is actuated
by an electric motor. An intermediate shaft (3) in the gear assembly (8) allows for emer
gency manual operation.
Drive lever (5) is rotated by motor (2) through the interposed reduction gear assem
bly(8). As a result, connecting rod (7) rotates the actuator lever (15), thereby compress
ing the closing springs (1). As soon as the springs have passed their deadcenter posi
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
tion, a torque is produced which acts upon the actuator lever (15) and, consequently,
effects the actual closing operation.
This independent action of the contact system and the spring mechanism is made pos
sible by the slot provided in connecting rod (7). The end positions are determined by
internal stops.
The operating mechanism is decoupled from the gear assembly by means of a free
wheeling mechanism which is effective in both directions.
The alarm switches and the switchposition indicator are actuated through a mechanical
connection (10) to the actuator lever (11). The motor current is cut off by the limit switch
(6). In the case of emergency manual operation the motor circuit is interrupted by the
limit switch (4). All electrical connections are brought out to a coded plug arrangement
(9).

When the slide bar (7) is moved to the left in the presence of the control voltage, the limit
switch (1) closes a test circuit. If the interlocking conditions are not satisfied and, there
fore, switch operation is not permissible, the interlocking magnet (2) remains deener
gized and prevents the slide bar (7) from being moved any further to the left.
If the interlocking conditions are satisfied, that is, switch operation is permissible, the in
terlocking magnet (2) is energized and the slide bar (7) clears the crank opening (6).
The crank handle can now be inserted into the crank opening. At the same time, the mo

The enclosure 1 and the current transformer support 2 are forming the pressurized GIS
enclosure. The ringcores 3 are integrated inside the gas compartment. During assem
bly, the ringcores are mechanicaly fixed on the current transformer support. The ring
cores are protected by metallic shielding 4 for dielectric reasons and against very fast
transients phenomenons.
The secondary windings are collected in a common terminal box 5. The outer sheet
metal casing protects the windings.
The splitup module is one of the interfaces from the singlephase 6 to the 3phase 7
technology.
The splitup with current transformers ELKVY14 are connected to various types of
protection and measuring equipment and the specific requirements are accordingly
multiple. In principle the splitup with current transformers ELKVY14 can be assigned
to two applications: Measuring and Protection. For both applications, international stan
dards for its accuracy class are defined.

Fig.32: Density monitor ELKWT14
6.10.2 Description
The density monitor ELKWT14 monitors the gas density of the SF6 installation part and
compares it with that of the gas in a closed reference gas compartment. If the density
drops below the set value in each case (warning, alarm, blocking), the mutually indepen
dent micro switch contacts close.
The density monitor ELKWT14 is available in the following versions:
S without outdoor hood for indoor version
S with outdoor hood for outdoor version
Depending on the version, density monitors ELKWT14 with are equipped 2 or 3 con
tacts.
Pressure comparison is provided by a metal bellow, which separates the SF6 gas
compartment of the installation from the reference gas compartment. The movement of
the bellows actuates microswitches via operating rod. The microswitches trigger the
relevant indications through different switching points.
Microswitches are connected to the plug contacts via a PCB. Plug contacts are coded
and cannot be interchanged inadvertently.
The movement of operating rod is indicated via a meter movement on a display visible
from the outside. As long as the pointer remains in the GREEN range of the scale, the
gas density is adequate. The transition GREENRED is set to the lowest switching point
(alarm).
The density monitor ELKWT14 has the following characteristics:
S high shock resistance
S no false alarms at low temperatures
S up to three mutually independent, galvanically separated circuits

6.11.2 Description
The pressure relief device ELKXA14 has the task of initiating pressure relief if the gas
pressure in the gas compartments rises above the permitted pressure value. An increase
of gas pressure may be caused by an internal arc fault but never during normal operation
of the switchgear.
On reaching the bursting pressure, the pressure relief device ELKXA14 is destroyed at
its predetermined triggering point and the SF6 gas is relieved.

Fig.34: Pressure relief device ELKXA14 with adsorber

Any separate gas compartment in an SF6−gas insulated switchgear installation is
equipped with a pressure relief device ELKXA14 on a connection flange 4 (Fig. 5). The
pressure relief device ELKXA14 is a safety element for the enclosures of SF6 switchgear.
On the rare occasion of an internal arc, the gas pressure in a compartment may increase
to a level equal to the bursting pressure of the pressure relief device ELKXA14. This will
trigger the pressure relief device followed by gas deflating through the exhaust 1.
The protective cover 9 and cover plate 2 secures the pressure relief device 6 against acci
dental mechanical damage from outside and from weather in the case of outdoor instal
lations.
The pressure relief device ELKXA14 attachment usually contains an adsorber 5. The ad
sorber gathers moisture in the gas compartment and thus maintains the quality of the

S Balance with 100 g graduation
S Utensils in polypropylene or polyethylene
S Flask (size determined by:
1 part decomposition products + 1.5 parts water + 250 g calcium chloride hexahy
drate per kg water
S Bucket with volume scale
S Flask with screw cap and wide neck and
S Matching funnel
Procedure
1. Take safety precautions.
2. Empty decomposition products into bucket and note volume.
3. Pour contents of bucket into flask using funnel.
4. Fill bucket with 1.5 times the amount of water and determine weight.
5. Weigh out 250 g calcium chloride hexahydrate per kg water.
6. Pour water stepwise into flask and then allow cooling (on addition of water, the solu
tion heats up and foams).
7. Add calcium chloride hexahydrate to the flask to neutralize and allow standing for
24 hours. Then close the flask tightly with the cap.

6.12 Barrier and support insulator
Barrier Insulators
The GIS type ELK14 is sectionalized into individual gas compartments by means of gas
tight barrier insulators. Therefore, the impact of extensions or internal faults on the overall
installation is reduced to a minimum and control, supervision and maintenance are
greatly eased. All flange connections are sealed by means of ageresistant Orings. Due
to the gastight design of the insulator no gas leakage between components can occur.
Support Insulators
Support insulators are used to mechanically support the conductors. They are mainly
used for long SF6 busduct connections. Fig.36 shows both types of insulators.

6.13.2 Description
Bushings ELKHB14 serve as links for the current transfer between the gasinsulated
switchgear and the airinsulated components of the openair transmission line. They
have the task of transferring the current with low losses and simultaneously of ensuring
the dielectric strength both in the gas compartment and in the air under the most extreme
environmental conditions.
Order No.: 1HC0044810 E01 / AA06
The bushing (1) consists of a conductor tube (2) that transmits the current from contact
support (3) via the rigidly connected upper flange (4) to the current connection (5) (stan
dard is a pin). Here, connections to the open air can then be connected directly or via
an adapter.
The two shield electrodes (6) and (7) are used to control the electrical field. The glass
fibre reinforced tube (8) is used for mechanical and dielectric stability. The silicone shield
(9) mounted on it guarantees the electrical air insulation such as clearance and creep
age and also provides optimal protection against environmental influences such as ex
treme contamination and salt fog.
The bushing ELKHB14 with composite insulating Fig.37 is a gasinsulated bushing in
accordance with IEC 60137.
On account of the simplicity of its design, the bushing ELKHB14 is maintenancefree.
The bushing ELKHB14 includes a control electrode (7) for field grading in the transition
between the bottom flange and outside air. Therefore no measuring adapter is assigned.
The current connector (5) is round and is made of aluminium.
As a protection against corrosion, all flange joints and other sealing positions to the gas
compartment are coated with grease through lubricating nipples.

6.14.2 Description
Inductive voltage transformers are low power transformers in which the secondary volt
age is proportional to and in phase with the primary voltage for all practical purposes.
The voltage transformer of the GIS transforms the network voltage to be measured into
a secondary voltage that can be fed to measuring and protective devices. At the same
time, the primary and the secondary windings are galvanically separated from each
other.
The inductive voltage transformer type ELKPI04 (Fig.38) complies with the relevant
IEC and IEEEstandards. Usually it has two secondary windings and one auxiliary wind
ing for earth fault detection. The ratings are projectspecific.
The inductive voltage transformer is a sealed gas compartment (6) with two gas connec
tions (4), an SF6 gas moisture filter and a bursting disc assembly (3). The terminal box
(1) attached to the side wall of the enclosure accommodates wiring, terminals and fuses.
The inductive voltage transformer is delivered filled with SF6 at a pressure of
Caution 150 kPa. Do not evacuate!

8.3 Earthing of GIS equipment

Earthing" is defined as the entirety of means and procedures associated with the earth
ing of equipment. Earthing means to connect a conductor via an earthing system to
earth.
Earth" refers to both, the earth as a location and the earth as a substance such as hu
mus, clay, sand, gravel and rock. The earth is a conductor whose potential outside the
influence of earthing systems is considered to be zero. The Reference Earth" (neutral
earth) is defined as a part of the earth, especially of its surface, outside the influence of
an earthing system in which between two random points no voltages deriving from the
earth current can be measured.
Earthing system" is defined as the entirety of electrically connected earthes, metal parts
acting similarly (e g. pole bases, armatures, metal cable sheathing) and earthing leads.
Earth electrode" is a conductor that is embedded in the ground and electrically con
nected to it, or a conductor embedded in concrete that is in contact with the earth over
a large area (e. g. foundation earth).
Earthing lead" is defined as an electrical lead laid either outside the earth or insulated
in the earth that connects a GIS part to be earthed with the earth. If a disconnecting link,
a disconnector or a Petersen coil is installed between a center point or an outer conduc
tor and the earth, only the connection between earth and the earthing terminal of such
a device is considered as an earthing lead.
The installation of the GIS earthing and the earthing leads shall be strictly in ac
cordance with the projectspecific earthing layout diagrams and the earthing
plans in the projectspecific part of this documentation!
