Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS) Market Volume Forecast and Value Chain Analysis 2017-2027

Electricity is a green source of power, which has gained significant importance in the modern life. Most of the home appliances, industrial machineries, trains and many other systems rely on electrical supply. Certainly, electricity is a boon to the modern life, however, it can turn into a threat if not handled properly. In a distribution system, all possible measures have to be taken in order to ensure minimum power loss and maximum safety. For this, switchgears are used for switching and protecting devices such as switches, fuses, circuit breakers and relays. The main purpose of switchgears is to ensure safety of the distribution system by disconnecting in case of any short-circuit.

The switchgears are mainly of two types- oil filled and air/gas insulated. The oil filled switchgear systems are very rarely used as compared to the air or gas insulated switchgears. The gas insulated switchgears are generally composed of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas filled circuit breakers. The gas insulated switchgears are highly effective as compared to other types of circuit breakers as it contain sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas, which is highly electronegative and has a strong tendency to absorb free electrons. The gas insulated switchgears are mostly used in high or ultra-high voltage transmission lines. In gas insulated medium voltage switchgear, vacuum technology is used for circuit breaking while sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is used for insulation. As vacuum technology is limited to low voltage applications, for applications above 72.5 KV, only SF6 is used both for interruption medium and insulation in the GIS or gas insulated switchgear system. Unlike other circuit breakers, the gas insulated switchgear should be able to perform switching and circuit breaking very efficiently by cooling electric arc in fraction of a second.
