A great quick video from Point On Wave here.

Our second P&C tip! An isolation plan should have each test switch identified in the correct order of isolation. #testing #neta #substation #substations #utility #utilities #commissioning #electricalengineering #electrical #powergeneration #powerdistribution #transmission #humanperformance #transformers #relays #breakers #electricaltesting #powerengineering #fieldserviceengineer #usa #highvoltage #hydro #distribution #pointonwave

Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) is a type of electrical switchgear used in high voltage power systems to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment. GIS is commonly used in high-voltage transmission and distribution networks, substations, industrial plants, and renewable energy installations. Gas Insulated Switchgear consists of metal-enclosed compartments containing high-voltage conductors, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, grounding switches, and other associated components. SF6 gas has excellent arc-quenching properties, enabling GIS to rapidly extinguish electrical arcs and minimize the risk of equipment damage or personnel injury in the event of a fault.

Something’s you see in this industry, is worth a good laugh, as long as you make it right in the end. We will bring it up to our quality standards. #testing #neta #substation #substations #utility #utilities #commissioning #electricalengineering #electrical #powergeneration #powerdistribution #transmission #humanperformance #transformers #relays #breakers #electricaltesting #powerengineering #fieldserviceengineer #usa #highvoltage #hydro #distribution #pointonwave

As we delve deeper into this article, we will explore the various types of interlocking mechanisms used for Gas-Insulated Substation (GIS), their applications in substations, power plants, and electrical installations, as well as their significance in ensuring the sustained safety and functionality of these vital components of the power transmission infrastructure. To start with the discussion, first let’s ask a few very important questions and try to give simple and straight-forward answers. How to ensure proper operation of substation components? Well, let’s say that substations play a pivotal role in the seamless and safe transmission of electrical power. Ensuring the proper operation of various components within substations is of paramount importance to both personnel safety and the integrity of the entire electrical system.

High-voltage (HV) substations are critical components of electrical power systems, serving as key points for transforming, regulating, and distributing electricity. Ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations in these complex environments requires a robust framework of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The initial sections highlight the need for SOPs at substations, detailing how proper documentation, thorough review, and official approval of procedures can mitigate risks and ensure consistency. Interlocking mechanisms, designed to prevent unsafe operations, are also discussed along with their limitations, underscoring the potential for human error and the severe consequences of such failures, including substation shutdowns and widespread power disruptions. Subsequent sections focus on ensuring equipment safety during maintenance activities, outlining the critical steps of power cut-off, isolation, and earthing.
