Series RHG
Description

The RHG-40.5 GIS is an SF6 gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear developed from 126kV GIS technology for 40.5kV medium-voltage power networks. It is designed for power systems, power generation, rail transit, petrochemicals, metallurgy, mining, and large industrial sectors.

Optimized for retrofitting old air-insulated switchgear, the product features a cabinet width of 1200–1680mm and depth of 2800–3200mm, allowing installation without redoing foundations, replacing cables, or reinforcing load-bearing structures.

Key Features

  • Superior Insulation: Boasts a fully enclosed, gas - insulated structure. Eliminates issues like condensation, insulation deterioration - induced discharge, and contact overheating common in air - insulated switchgears.
  • Enhanced Safety & Control: Features a three - position disconnector with an electric mechanism and one - key sequential control. Prevents risks such as manual operation jamming of mobile circuit breakers and avoids tipping - related injuries.
  • Retrofit - Friendly: Ideal for retrofitting old air - insulated switchgears. No need to redo foundations, replace cables, or shut down the entire power station during the process.
  • Advanced Circuit Breaker: Equipped with a self - blasting SF6 circuit breaker. Switching reactive loads won’t cause current interception. Comes with a C2 - level certification report for back - to - back capacitor banks from Xi'an High Voltage Apparatus Research Institute Co., Ltd.
  • User - Adaptable Operation: Retains the operating habits of traditional switchgear products. Operation and maintenance personnel can quickly get accustomed to using this new product.
  • Eco - Friendly Option: Aligns with green environmental protection trends. Offers product solutions with mixed gases.

Frequently asked questions

Due to the excellent insulation performance, arc extinguishing performance and stability performance of SF6 gas, GIS equipment has the advantages of small footprint, strong arc extinguishing ability and high reliability, but the insulation ability of SF6 gas is greatly affected by the uniformity of the electric field, and it is easy to have insulation abnormalities when there are tips or foreign objects inside the GIS.

GIS equipment adopts a fully enclosed structure, which brings the advantages of internal components without environmental interference, long maintenance cycle, low maintenance workload, low electromagnetic interference, etc., while also having problems such as complex single overhaul work and relatively poor detection methods, and when the closed structure is eroded and damaged by the external environment, it will further bring a series of problems such as water ingress and air leakage.

The insulating property of SF₆ gas relies on its stable molecular structure, which makes electron escape and collision ionization difficult under normal operating voltages, ensuring high insulation resistance. In GIS, insulation is precisely maintained by controlling gas pressure, purity, and electric field distribution to guarantee a uniform and stable electric field between high-voltage conductors and the grounded enclosure.
