T155
Gas-Insulated Substations up to 420 kV

GE's T155 GIS is a field-proven solution with high availability that meets the challenges of networks up to 420 kV for power generation, transmission, distribution, tertiary and heavy industry applications.

The T155 is compact and accessible, with a bay footprint 40% below the market average. Complete bays are assembled, wired, tested and shipped enabling shorter site works.

In addition, the T155 is environmentally friendly and features one of the lowest gas weights on the market along with an advanced SF6 sealing system. Full digital monitoring control and protection capabilities enable the T155 to be readily integrated into the smart grid.
