Subestaciones aisladas con gas SF6 (GIS)

This analysis presents the characteristics and components of SF6 gas-insulated substations (GIS), highlighting their compact and modular design compared to conventional air-insulated substations (AIS). It emphasizes that this technology allows for a space reduction of up to 60%, making them ideal for urban environments with expensive land or areas with high levels of environmental pollution. The various modules that make up a cell are described in detail, such as circuit breakers, disconnectors, and instrument transformers, all protected by hermetically sealed metal enclosures. The operational advantages, such as low maintenance and longer lifespan, are also analyzed, while also addressing drawbacks such as greater dependence on the manufacturer in case of operational problems and the environmental impact of the gas; sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), used as insulation, is a polluting gas (a potent greenhouse gas).
