B2.4.1 General
The switchgear shall be an indoor gas-insulated and metalclad cubicle design
with single busbar system as per scope. It shall be suitable for local and remote
control.
The switchgear shall be designed to ensure optimum continuity and reliability of
supply as well as safety for operation.
The switchgear shall be partitioned both between the busbar to the circuit
breaker and from panel to panel. The busbar connections between each panel
shall be of the plug-in/ bolted type. The switchgear assembly shall be such that
there is no need of any Gas handling at site. Pressure relief duct on top of the
switchboard is required.

Page | 3
 MAHARASHTRA STATE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION CO. LTD.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR 22kV & 33kV GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR

Mimic should be provided on the door through semaphore indicators or

mechanical linkage. All the basic mechanical on/off of circuit breaker, isolator &
earth switch operation, manual spring charge of CB must be possible.

SF6 gas handling at site is not acceptable.

The bus bars shall be extensible on both sides without requiring any gas work.

The power cables shall be fed in from the bottom and connected by plug
connectors.
A free slot at the panel back shall be available for cable testing and current and
voltage injection.
A leakage rate of max. 0.25% per annum is required. The gas tanks should
therefore be manufactured according to the latest technology and manufactured
from stainless steel and welded by laser. Gas tanks shall be manufactured from
3mm thick stainless steel.
The switchgear is to be designed in such a way that all high voltage parts with
the exception of cable plugs are located in an insulating inert gas, in order to
avoid environmental influences such as humidity, dust and otherwise polluted air
to prevent entry of metal and gumming of greases. The panels must safely
withstand at least the rated lightning impulse voltage even when the gas pressure
falls to atmospheric level.
For operator safety the switchgear must have an active and passive protection
system against internal faults in each partitioned compartment.
In case of an internal fault the active system (in combination with the BAY
PROTECTION AND CONTROL UNIT) has to switch off all feeding circuit
breakers in a sufficiently short time, which is approx. 100 ms. The pressure
detection is to be done by temperature compensated pressure sensors.
The passive safety section shall ensure that hot gases are guided via pressure
relief disks of each unit concerned. The temperature-compensated sensors for
pressure measurement must also permanently monitor the relevant gas
compartment. Provision must be made for action to be taken when the upper or
lower threshold is exceeded, leading to a drastic reduction in damage and
internal arc faults.
The entire system is to be monitored with the aid of the sensors. It shall be
possible to deduce appropriate maintenance operations from this monitoring
system.
B2.4.2 Panel design and compartments
The switchgear panels are to be partitioned into compartments as follows:
1. Bus bar I module (Three/Single Phase) GIS compartment
(incl. built-in 3 position switches)
2. Core module with built-in circuit breaker and combined GIS compartment
current and voltage sensors (or conventional CT’s and
PT’s (if applicable)
3. Cable termination compartment AIS compartment

shall, however, be provided on each individual equipment module to facilitate
cycling and recharging. In the circuit breaker enclosure, where the arc will
generate gas decomposition products, a permanent efficient filter shall be
installed to remove any residual impurities in the gas. The filter shall be effective
