GE introduces SF₆ and g³ compatible dual gas-insulated lines (GIL)

  • GE’s dual gas GIL helps high voltage grid operators prepare substations for a future SF₆ ban
  • A single GIL design ensuring same performance for both SF₆ and g³ gas
  • GE’s dual gas GIL embed at least 15% less SF₆ or g³ gas mass than previous versions

Thanks to their high transmission capacities and reliability, gas-insulated lines and busbars (GIL and GIB, respectively), have been in use for over half a century in power plants and in high voltage substations.
