550KV HGIS As the domestic economy develops, the national power grid and substation development requires extremely high demand for the types and quantity of the high voltage apparatus. Currently the 550kV HGIS can be divided into two types: GIS and AIS. GIS requires much smaller occupied land and high reliability. Comparatively speaking, the AIS is much cheaper in terms of cost but occupying much more land. Therefore, many customers need an inter-mediate type combining both advantages of GIS and AIS. 1,High reliability High reliability can be ensured based on the conventional 252kV GIS, which requires less site work and fulfilling the switchyard requirement. 2,More usability Proven standard modular design, which has advantages such as simple structure, less installation work and cost etc. 3,Economically cost for HGIS is around 80% of that of the GIS and 45% of AIS, which is more economical.
