T155 Dual Gas
SF6 and g3 Gas-Insulated Substations up to 420 kV

GE's T155 Dual Gas GIS meets the challenges of networks up to 420 kV for power generation, transmission, and heavy industry applications.

Ready for future SF6 gas regulations

Anticipating future SF6 regulations, this Dual-Gas equipment is available with either g³ or SF6 gas as an insulating and switching medium. Based on having the same foundational design, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) can buy the SF6 version today and easily switch to GE’s g³ solution at a later time.

The T155 Dual Gas GIS is very compact and accessible, with a bay footprint equivalent to the previous SF6 T155 model. Complete bays are fully assembled in the factory (wired, tested, packaged, and shipped), enabling shorter site works.

In addition, the T155 Dual-Gas GIS features an advanced SF6 sealing system with a sealing length divided by two compared to the previous version, improving tightness.

Full digital monitoring control and protection capabilities enable the T155 Dual Gas to be readily integrated into the smart grid.

Characteristics

Sustainability

  • 100% SF6-free version available with T155 Dual Gas GIS (with g³ gas)
  • The gas contribution to global warming is reduced by 99% using GE’s g³ gas instead of SF6
  • First-in-class gas sealing system
  • Improved tightness due to sealing length divided by two, compared to the previous version

High availability

  • Current transformers located outside SF6/g3 gas compartment
  • Pure-spring circuit breaker drives
  • State-of-the-art maintenance isolating device: major repair and HV tests with no more than one bay down
  • Outstanding accessibility to drives and accessories

 

Low costs of land and civil works

  • Very compact GIS: bay footprint remains the same as latest SF6 GIS

Short site works

  • Complete bays are fully assembled in the factory (wired, tested, packaged, and shipped)

Smart grid features

  • Full-digital monitoring, control and protection
