Description

RHG-252 is a high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) engineered for 252kV power transmission and distribution systems. Designed to meet the demands of large-scale substations and complex grid environments, it combines robust performance with adaptive design flexibility.

Type-tested and certified by KEMA, this GIS delivers exceptional technical precision. Its low partial discharge performance—≤3pC for complete bays and ≤2pC for individual insulators—ensures stable, long-term operation critical for high-voltage grids. The circuit breaker, equipped with an advanced operating mechanism, achieves 10,000 mechanical operations and meets C2/E2/M2 class requirements, guaranteeing long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.

Structurally optimized with a modular design, RHG-252 accommodates diverse substation layouts through flexible configuration options. The double-seal ring system on butt-flange surfaces reduces annual gas leakage to ≤0.1%, enhancing airtightness and reducing maintenance needs. The compact footprint—with a standard bay width of 2m and a minimum of 1.8m—saves valuable space, a critical advantage in land-constrained areas.

Engineered for harsh conditions, it performs reliably in extreme temperatures (-30°C to 50°C), high humidity, salt fog, coastal environments, and high altitudes (up to 4,000m). Insulation design follows IEC 62271-1 altitude correction requirements, ensuring dependable operation in challenging climates.

With core components manufactured in-house, Chint ensures consistent quality and short lead times. Each unit undergoes factory pre-testing including lightning impulse withstand tests, eliminating insulation defects before delivery. RHG-252 delivers an optimal balance of efficiency, durability, and adaptability, making it a trusted choice for modern high-voltage power infrastructure.

Features

  • Low Partial Discharge: ≤3pC for complete bays and ≤2pC for individual insulators under 80% rated power-frequency voltage, ensuring grid stability.
  • Low Leakage Rate: Double-seal ring design on butt-flange surfaces guarantees an annual leakage rate of ≤0.1%, minimizing gas replenishment needs.
  • High Reliability: Circuit breaker meets C2, E2, and M2 class requirements, with 10,000 mechanical operations and 22 full-capacity interruption cycles. Disconnector and fast-earthing switch also achieve 10,000 mechanical operations, with the FES meeting Class B capability for induced current switching.
  • Compact & Flexible: Main bus adopts three-phase common-enclosure design, while other elements use individual-phase enclosures. Standard bay width is 2m (minimum 1.8m), offering flexible substation layout options.
  • Smart-Ready: Equipped with built-in sensors supporting IEC 61850-based online monitoring of gas density, micro-moisture, partial discharge, and breaker mechanical characteristics, enabling one-key sequence control.
  • Factory Pre-Tested: Each unit undergoes full routine testing including lightning impulse withstand to ensure zero insulation defects before delivery.

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.

HGIS classification mainly revolves around two core dimensions: first, rated voltage as the primary classification basis, covering the range from medium voltage to ultra-high voltage; second, classification based on mechanical structure and modularity, forming different types according to the combination mode of core functional modules and the layout of bays. Among these, rated voltage is the most mainstream classification standard, directly determining its application scenarios.
