T168
Gas-Insulated Substations up to 550 kV
GE makes the most of 50 years of experience in design, material selection, development, engineering, manufacturing and servicing of gas-insulated substations. GE's T168 GIS meet the challenges of networks up to 550 kV for all applications: power generation, transmission and heavy industry. The T168 is compact and accessible, with a bay footprint 12% below previous version. In addition, the T168 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 T168 to be readily integrated into the smart grid. |
