B105 & T155
Hybrid Gas-Insulated Switchgear
The B105 & T155 H-GIS Hybrid Gas-Insulated Switchgear meet the challenges of networks up to 550 kV in power generation, transmission and heavy industry applications.
The B105 & T155 are compact and accessible, with a bay footprint 40% below the market average. Complete bays are assembled, wired, tested and shipped enabling shorter site works.
In addition, the B105 & T155 are environmentally friendly and features one of the lowest gas weights on the market along with an advanced SF₆ sealing system. Full digital monitoring control and protection capabilities enable the B105 & T155 to be readily integrated into the smart grid.
