5.9.1 SSIS bus installation in XGIS gas insulated switchgear
SSIS type busbars are installed as main bus conductors on the XGIS
system.
The SSIS conductors and couplers consist of three concentric layers:
•
The live conductor
•
The insulating layer
•
The conductive shield outer layer
shows some example SSIS components and their
arrangement as bus sections and terminations. Bus sections start
at bushings coupled to end or cross bus joints, extend using SSIS
bus (solid sections), and terminate at bus connection bushings
connected to end or cross bus joints.
shows the relative arrangement of the incoming bus
connectors to the XGIS tank and its interior components.
See
for an example of the XGIS main bus compartment
and its bushing cones.
Note
: All bushings without main busbar or cables installed shall have
a grounded SSIS cap.
The bushings are mounted on top of the gas tank and are connected
via bus to the switching components in the tank.
