Integrated gas-insulated switchgear application for 145 - 420 kV

Modular GIS in prefabricated housing

Integrated gas-insulated switchgear application (IGA) is a predesigned, standardized and fully integrated configuration based on Hitachi Energy's well proven GIS technology. The IGA provide substantial reduction of installation time compared to conventional substations. It is the ideal solution for customers in need of substations that can be quickly energized for grid expansions, backup or emergency power needs, and for short installation time requirements.

The IGA package comes with all primary and secondary equipment including control, protection, monitoring and communication completely installed in the prefabricated housing. Due to its prefabricated design and short deployment time, it is ideal for applications in the oil, gas and mining industries where it can be easily transported to the sites.
 

Applications

  • Emergency and replacement feeder bay units for utilities
  • Oil and gas industry
  • Mining industry
  • Onshore and offshore wind farm grid connections
  • Remote installations
  • Extreme temperature requirements and harsh environments
  • Trailer mounted switchgear

Why Hitachi Energy?
