  • SF6 Gas Insulated Switchgear for transmission systems-420kV

Key attributes

Brand ROCKWILL
Model NO. SF6 Gas Insulated Switchgear for transmission systems-420kV
Rated voltage 420kV
Rated normal current 4000A
Series ZF
Description

The ZF-420/4000-63 GIS is a high-voltage SF6 gas-insulated switchgear designed for 420kV transmission systems. Composed of standard modules with flanged joints, it enables flexible substation optimization through modular combinations. It saves space and conforms to applicable technical requirements.

The horizontal circuit breaker structure facilitates inspection and emergency maintenance while reducing ground impact. The GIS achieves a phase spacing of 670mm and a standard bay spacing of 2050mm, with three-phase integrated transport capability. Its technological innovation level is domestically leading.

The circuit breaker, disconnector, and earthing switch each have a mechanical life of 10000 operations, driven by a mature pure spring operating mechanism. The basin insulators feature aluminum flanges with double sealing structure. Key components and production equipment are sourced from international suppliers.

Features and advantages of the product

  • Horizontal Circuit Breaker: Integrated transport design with convenient maintenance access and reduced ground loading.
  • High Insulation Level: Rated for 650kV power-frequency and 1425kV lightning impulse withstand voltages per IEC standards.
  • High Breaking Capacity: 63kA short-circuit breaking current with excellent interruption reliability.
  • Proven Spring Mechanism: Pure spring operating mechanism with high reliability and maintenance-free operation.
  • Ultra-Low Partial Discharge: ≤5pC per bay and ≤3pC per insulator at 291kV (1.2 × Ur/√3).
  • High Mechanical Endurance: 10000 operations for circuit breaker, disconnector, and earthing switch.
  • Triple-Phase Integrated Transport: 670mm phase spacing, 2050mm standard bay width, factory-assembled and tested.
  • Double Sealing Structure: Basin insulator with aluminum flange for gas tightness.

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.
