Abstract

This tutorial is directed to all today´s and future users of gas insulated substations and transmission lines (GIS and GIL). It gives basic and technical information about the functions, manufacturing, installation, testing and about specifying the right equipment. A special chapter deals with the insulating gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), including information about property, handling and recycling. The tutorial focused on practical use of GIS and GIL, explains the steps of development and improvements over the last 30 years of its successful use world-wide. In examples applications are explained to show in what cases the GIS and GIL had been used. Guidance is given in how to specify GIS and GIL and the criteria in favor to GIS and GIL are explained.
