B105

170 300 kV Gas-insulated Substations The increasing demand for electrical power in cities and industrial centres necessitates the installation of a compact and efcient distribution and transmission network. High voltage gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is ideal for such applications.
The B105 is single-phase, SF6 gas-insulated, high voltage metal-enclosed switchgear, which is continuously being upgraded to the state of the art. ALSTOMhasbeenactivelyinvolvedinSF6 technologyforseveraldecadesandourGIS havebeeninoperationworldwidesince 1965 withprovensuccess.Excellenteld experienceconrmsthesoundnessofour technicalconcepts.
