Cubicle Type Gas Insulated Switchgears (C-GIS)

Type: HS-X-1 C-GIS(22kV), HS-X-A C-GIS (11kV) , HS-X-3 C-GIS (22kV/33kV)

Mitsubishi Electric has rich experience in developing switchgear panel, vacuum circuit breaker for the LV-MV distribution network since 1979 and cubicle GIC (C-GIS) is newly developed for the replacement of the traditional air-insulated switchgear panel to overcome the large capacity required by the client and improve the reliability.

Cubicle GIC (C-GIS) that is a switchgear panel operated in 11-33kV class distribution system includes circuit breaker, disconnector, earthing switch, current transformer and voltage transformer integrating into the cubicle panels.

Features:

  • Cubicle-shaped housing enables significant space saving and reduces equipment weight
  • High Voltage Parts in an enclosure with dry compressed air or SF6 gas for insulation
  • Panel size similar to the traditional switchgear panel that can be replaced at site without any shut-down.
  • Flexible configuration of the cable connection direction
  • Easy to mount the protection relay on the face of panel
Distribution transformers
Distribution Transformers

Mitsubishi Electric developed the SF6 Gas insulated distribution transformers with an advantage of the non-flammable characteristics which are suitable for located at the indoor floors of the commercial building and residential building.

Since it is non-flammable electric equipment, the fire fighting systems are not required for this type transformer. The rating class is 6.6kV, 11kV and 22kV.

Protection & monitoring systems

Protection & Monitoring Systems

Protection panel at the HK Electric North Point Substation

Mitsubishi Electric provides different kinds of protection relay which contains the necessary elements for the protection of extra high voltage power and transmission system and also distribution network facilities and devices such as transformers, generators, motors, GIS etc. In order to ensure the life and the operation condition of the power systems , monitoring system on the power equipment is very essential for the client so as to check the healthiness of their equipment based on the monitoring system. Client can understand equipment’s healthiness and make a plan of maintenance or replacement can be implemented in advance.
