High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) is a type of electrical equipment used in high-voltage power systems to manage, protect, and isolate different sections of the grid. Unlike conventional air-insulated systems, HV GIS uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) gas as the insulating medium, allowing the components to be enclosed in compact, sealed metal chambers. This results in a much smaller footprint, making it especially suitable for use in space-limited areas such as urban substations, underground facilities, and offshore installations. HV GIS includes elements like circuit breakers, disconnectors, and busbars, all housed within the gas-filled enclosure to provide high insulation and prevent electrical faults.
